Statement
We, the Heads of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, deplore and condemn and
exasperated the blatant attacks on a person of Jesus Christ, Glory to Him, and
on His Mother the Virgin Mary Immaculate, which was broadcast on Channel Ten
television in Israel.
These days, one of the programs during the evening on Channel 10, the program
attacked shamefully our faith and us Christians. The Show tried bigotry the
greatest and most sacred symbols of Christian faith, as the director of the
program officially declare his hostility to Christianity. Channel Ten have been
used in such a position of violating the sanctity of the holiest of Christian
symbols, and Offended hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens, Christians, and
millions of Christians around the world as well.
The Catholic Conference Bishops in the Holy Land consider the program is a
dangerous phenomenon of great division, and the dispersal of society, that keep
it out of the spirit of tolerance and acceptance of others, respect and
resentment. More importantly, in the view of the Heads of the Churches of this
recent event, and in the broader content, is another example of the continuous
attacks against Christians in the State of Israel over the past years. Just a
few months ago, was the burning of a number of Holy Books publicly, in the
courtyard of the compound in Or Yehuda.
For several years, Christianity was working hard to stop many of the
manifestations of anti-Semitism, and now Christians find themselves in Israel
victims of anti-Christians.
While we deplore and condemn this act, and all the abusive acts, we call on all
parties concerned to investigate the matter and take necessary action to put an
end to the violation of the inviolability and sanctity of the Christian faith.
It is not possible and reasonable, such incidents in the State of Israel, where
a large number of Holy shrines and the main Christian churches, which rely to a
large extent by tourism and the pilgrimage from Christian countries.
Therefore, we ask the Israeli people and the Israeli authorities to take
appropriate action against these abuses and against the perpetrators. At the
same time, we call Channel Ten to recognize its responsibility, and apologize
formally and publicly to the event and not allow it to repeat.
We would also like to express our appreciation and our understanding of the
reactions of deep and sincere, which had been expressed by our children and our
Christian institutions, and from many Jewish and Islamic personalities moderate
and wise leadership, which has risen, hackles and shocked just like us, and has
expressed its condemnation and disapproval of this work.
In fact, such programs have nothing to do with freedom of expression, or art, or
comedy, they are working to crack the national cohesion and consensus in our
society.
We call upon everyone the seriousness of the obligation and absolute discretion
and authority to follow the church in dealing with this important and sensitive
subject.
