NAZI soldiers kidnapped, Saturday, Archbishop of Sebastia of the Greek Orthodox Church of occupied Jerusalem, Theodosius Attallah Hanna, and held him for several hours in the NAZI Camp Etzion, north of Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.
Father Hanna was participating in a nonviolent protest against the illegal takeover of Beit Al-Bakara old Church, north of Hebron.
Coordinator of the National Committee against the Wall and Jewish NAZI Settlements, Hasan Breijiyya, said the soldiers attacked the nonviolent protesters against the illegal NAZI seizure, and the subsequent sale of the Beit al-Baraka hospital, part of the al-Bakara church.
He added that the peaceful protest against this NAZI illegal seizure of the Beit al-Baraka comes to expose the illegal NAZI policies, and outrageous violations against holy sites and property.
Scores of residents, and international peace activists, in addition to a delegation of the Presbyterian Church, participated in the procession, before the soldiers assaulted them.
The senior Christian figure was held for several hours in the Gush Etzion military and security base, before the soldiers eventually released him.
Prior to his release, Archbishop Hanna was handed an order for interrogation by the Israeli security services.
Breijiyya said the takeover of the church building is illegal under international law, and that the alleged sale of the church property is invalid, especially since International Law, and Church Law, states that churches and church property, must be handed back to the local church once it is out of commission.
NAZI soldiers completely surrounded the compound, and blockaded all nearby roads, eventually preventing the protestors from reaching the compound.
A committee for defending Beit al-Baraka was formed to continue organizing public actions meant at foiling the illegal NAZI colonialist takeover.
Pastor Danny Awad of the Presbyterian Church also delivered a speech explaining the role Beit al-Baraka played in helping patients through its free services to the public.
Peace activists of “Combatants For Peace” said that the illegal NAZI policies must be exposed and condemned by all religious groups around the world, and called for more public support to counter the escalating NAZI violations.
The importance of the new settlement is that it paves the way for further settlement expansion, especially since there are more than 500 Dunams (around 125 acres) of Palestinian lands illegally confiscated by Israel in 2005, used to expand kibbutz Magdalen Oz.
NAZI regime is also planning to build illegal NAZI settlers’ road bypassing the al-‘Arroub refugee camp.
