Priest on official PA TV: It is impossible to live with Israel
Official PA TV interviewed Manuel Musallam, a Catholic priest and head of the Birzeit office of the Islamic Christian Commission to Defend Jerusalem and the Holy Places
Manuel Musallam: “I always told [my students] that schools and churches could not be bombed. One day, our school was bombed… A kid came up to me and asked me: ‘Why are you a liar?’…
I am a liar, a hundred times over, I am a liar, because Israel really does bomb the children, the churches, the mosques, and the schools. We are liars if we teach our children that someday it will be possible to live together with Israel. It won’t be possible: It’s either us or them. Us and them is impossible.”
