‘Jesus Is a Monkey’: Tensions Intensify Between Jews & Christians in the Holy Land — Here’s Why

Sep. 20, 2012 11:41am Billy Hallowell

JERUSALEM (AP) — After a series of attacks by vandals on Christian holy sites in Israel, normally tight-lipped Roman Catholic officials are beginning to speak out, publicly appealing to authorities to take a stronger stand against the violence.

The Rev. Pierbattista Pizzaballa, one of the church’s top officials in the Holy Land, said he is worried about relations between Jews and Christians in the Holy Land. He believes the blame can go all around.

“I think the main atmosphere is ignorance,” Pizzaballa told The Associated Press in an interview.

Tensions Rage Between Jews & Christians in the Holy Land | Vandalism

Because the local Christian population is tiny, “we do not exist for the majority … They have other priorities,” he said. “On the other side, we as a minority maybe didn’t invest enough energy and initiatives” to reach out to Israeli Jews.

That may be changing following this month’s attack on a well-known Trappist Monastery in Latrun, outside Jerusalem. Vandals burned a door and spray-painted anti-Christian graffiti on the century-old building with the words “Jesus is a monkey.” Suspicion has fallen on extremist Jewish West Bank settlers or their supporters, who are believed to be behind a series of attacks in recent years on mosques, Christian sites and even Israeli army property to protest moves against settlements.

In response, the church’s top officials, including Pizzaballa, the “custos,” or custodian of Catholic holy sites, to issue a rare “declaration” calling on Israeli leaders to take action.

“Sadly, what happened in Latrun is only another in a long series of attacks against Christians and their places of worship,” the Catholic leaders said. “What is going on in Israeli society today that permits Christians to be scapegoated and targeted by these acts of violence?”

It said authorities should “put an end to this senseless violence and to ensure a `teaching of respect’ in schools for all those who call this land home.”

Israeli leaders swiftly condemned the attack, and police vowed to bring the vandals to justice. Nearly two weeks later, there have been no arrests.

The monastery was targeted shortly after Israel evacuated an illegally built West Bank settler outpost. In recent months, two other monasteries and a Baptist church were vandalized. It is not clear why the vandals have targeted Christian sites. For years, Christian clergymen also have been spat at by ultra-Orthodox seminary students in Jerusalem’s Old City.

There are about 155,000 Christian citizens of Israel, less than 2 percent of its 7.9 million people. About three-quarters are Arabs, and the others arrived during waves of Russian immigration over the past 20 years. They are split between Catholicism and Orthodox steams of Christianity. Tens of thousands of Christian foreign workers and African migrants also reside in Israel.

Pizzaballa said he recognizes the attacks do not reflect the views of most Israelis, and he welcomed the condemnations by Israeli police, politicians and mainstream rabbinical authorities.

But he said Israel must do more.

“It’s important not just to condemn, but also to work, to take initiatives to stop this phenomenon,” he said.

Far “more serious,” he said, was an incident in July in which an Israeli lawmaker ripped up a copy of the New Testament in front of TV cameras after Chrisitan missionaries mailed him the book. The lawmaker, Michael Ben-Ari, is now the subject of an ethics probe in parliament.

“This is a member of the Knesset. He is a representative of Israeli institutions,” Pizzaballa said.

Even if the delivery of the book was a “provocation,” he said, “you cannot rip the New Testament in front of the cameras and throw it in the trash and ask that the New Testament be banned from the country. This is unacceptable for every Christian believer.”

He pointed to the recent uproar in the Muslim world over a movie that mocked the Prophet Muhammad as an example of how explosive and hurtful religious hatred can be.

Pizzaballa’s words carry extra weight because of his strong ties with Israel. Pizzaballa, 47, has lived in the country for two decades, speaks Hebrew and has been a faculty member at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He is scheduled to complete his term as custos next year.

Pope Pius XII (Photo Credit: AP)

Jews and Catholics have had a fraught relationship over the centuries. It was only in 1965 that the Vatican rejected the long-held charge that the Jewish people were responsible for killing Jesus. The actions of Pope Pius XII during World War II still remain a sensitive diplomatic issue between Israel and the Vatican. Critics have long contended that Pius could have done more to stop the Holocaust, when 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis. The Vatican says Pius used quiet diplomacy to save Jews.

Israel and the Vatican have made inroads in recent years. The late Pope John Paul II established diplomatic ties with Israel in 1994, and his successor, Pope Benedict XVI, has promoted interfaith dialogue.

Pizzaballa acknowledged the difficult past but said Israelis have little understanding about modern Christianity or “the reality of the Christians in the country.”

While Christianity was born in the Holy Land, Christians’ situation here is fragile. In Israel, the number of Christian citizens has remained about the same for 20 years, with the influx of Russian immigrants balancing out some emigration by Arab Christians.

The West Bank has seen its Christian population dwindle over the years to roughly 50,000 people today, less than 3 percent of the population, the result of a lower birthrate and increased emigration in search of a better quality of life. Just one third of Bethlehem, the traditional birthplace of Christ, is Christian today, down from 75 percent half a century ago.

In the Gaza Strip, ruled by the Islamic militant group Hamas, the situation is even more precarious.

Fewer than 3,000 Christians live among 1.7 million Muslim residents, and their numbers have rapidly shrunk in recent years because of turmoil in the territory.

A Christian activist – who ran Gaza’s only Christian bookstore – was stabbed to death after Hamas took power in 2007. The killer was never found. In recent years, several Christian institutions were attacked by suspected Muslim hardliners. In at least two cases, including the torching of the local YMCA, assailants were caught and sentenced to prison.

Pizzaballa said Hamas has ensured that local Christians can worship freely, but nonetheless the environment is uncomfortable.

“You feel the pressure in the society and the life of the Islamic regime,” he said.

I’m a Catholic. When I was in Israel back in 2003; I felt nothing but welcome. I’m sure, if I ever have the opportunity to return that my visit would be no different and be just as uplifting.

  That’s the beauty of following Jesus Christ. When you blaspheme Him, I’m not required nor compelled to go after someone or ‘defend His honor’, He does it.
  
  Whereas, if you insult the muslim god, it’s ‘men’ that go after you.

  This is a complicated issue. A religious person believes HIS beliefs are correct and protects his faith from blasphemy. The spread of Christianity was “aided” by the persecution of the 1st century church in Judea. While our society as a whole has become more “tolerant” (at least in principle, if not in PC action), there are still elements of Ultra-orthodox that see and treat Christians as blasphemers. We have seen the violent treatment of Muslims towards the “infidels” and Christianity has its extremists – though Christians have been pretty good at self-policing those that show such lack of love and restraint.
  
  I would be careful placing blame on the “settlers;” there has been an effort for several years among the elites to demonize the Israeli nationalists – those who resist further “land for peace” initiatives seeing that past attempts have proven failures and who believe that that small strip of real estate was given to Abraham and his descendants by God and are attempting to resettle their ‘Promised Land.” They feel backed into a corner by the world and their government and frustration is growing… yet, they have shown great restraint, fighting back with mostly peaceful civil disobedience.
  
  If one believes the Bible and its prophecies and that we have entered the “Last Days” period, things will only get worse. The mix of politics, religion, military power, and world events are making this a very emotional, dangerous time.

  The torah clearly states that it is permissible to kill the infidels ie chrisitans.
  
  “If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you … Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die.” (Deuteronomy 13:6-10)

  @ antitheist
  
  You are correct in your quotation; the text was given at a time and in a place where the worship of dark gods was common among the Jews. Consider that the Old Testament is practically a history stuck in a loop; Israel is faithful, Israel prospers, Israel strays, G-d is forgotten, Israel falters, Israel falls, G-d chastises, Israel repents, G-d forgives, Israel is faithful…
  
  Given that, the text says what the text says; but were a Jew to read that text and see Christians as valid targets, they’d be wrong. Christians do not serve a god unknown to them; unlike Islam –the so-called Abrahamic Faiths- both Judaism and Christianity honor and serve the same divine Creator. The only difference is that as Christians, we serve a knowledge and understanding of G-d they –Jews- have rejected.

  This can serve as a place to start for the two myths: 1) Jews did not kill Jesus… they did; 2) Jews and Christians worship the same God… they do not.
  
  It makes it easy to read a summary of quotes.

  Christians are always claiming, “he’s the lamb”, “our savior”, “the king of peace”, “the embodiment of love”, amongst the many other names they associate with a loving, merciful nature. Jesus a nice guy? Not in my book. Nor is there any other person who is capable of compassion and rationality. Let’s examine who the hell the Jesus character really is. These verses will show not only is Jesus’ “loving” nature a joke but so are the Christians who worship him. Jesus’ real mission to come to earth:
  
  Jesus says that he has come to destroy families by making family members hate each other. He has “come not to send peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:34
  
  Jesus says, “Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace on earth! No, rather a sword lf you love your father, mother, sister, brother, more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. “The real beauty of this verse is that Jesus demands people truly love him more then they love their own family. I ask you how can we love someone that we can not see or interact with? Love is an emotion pertaining to physical existence not to faithful ideologies, yet God threatens you with Death just because your love for your mother maybe stronger than your love for him. Matthew 10:34
  
  Families will be torn apart because of Jesus. “Brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.” Matth

So the Christians take the Jewish religion, ignore their old laws and traditions, add in a few chapters about a guy claiming to be the messiah (who himself said he was not their to abolish the old laws) and then want to make nice with the Jews. Yeah, they should be happy about that one.

  Not everything is the fault of Muslims there, Christians are harassed by both Jews and Muslims there. I know the line is help Israel at all costs but you also need to be able to take a step back and recognize that Israel is not a religious state, it is a secular state, not eh second coming of Israel, because that Israel is the Church, not a state or a single set of people

Youve got it all wrong at present time….and forgive me lord for this, but you must not claim to be christian, and speak like you do. Its deception., A foul spirit thats got a grip on you. Seek deliverence, learn scripture, Call down some angels, warring and guardian to assist you. seek His face and before you know it, you will be fighting the good fight, Resist the devil, repent, become the man of God, your demon makes you believe you are. peace

“But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you;That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?”Matt5:44-46. These vandals shall be held accountable for their words of disrespect and it won’t be a sworm of locusts type groups burning embassies. “But I say unto you that every “Idle” word that men shall speak they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement. For by thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”Matt 12:36-37. If Christians reacted as muslim’s have they would be a sheet of glass. Those who do as Jesus taught us shall always prevail.

  “Turn the other cheek” – singular, not plural. Should the SECOND hand land, the principals of personal responsibility and self-defense are mandated.
  
  It’s like the guy trapped in a flood, passing up help from a truck, a boat and a helicopter as the water rises, faithfully awaiting help from God. After drowning, he goes before St. Peter and says, “I’ve been SUCH a faithful servant. Why was I allowed to drown?” and St. Peter responds “You fool! I sent you a truck, a boat and a helicopter – what more did you want?!?”

  That’s because they usually go into a party of Jewish civilians and blow themselves up, or videotape themselves throwing large rocks at people. Kind of a different level of ‘crime’ than spray painting graffiti on Christian sites in the middle of the night.

Obama will let muslims and their threats affect what we do in our own nation. He is a traitor. France, of all nations, has a newspaper cartoonist that drew Mohammed naked in cartoons just to enforce the idea that France will have free speech regardless of the Muslims. They have a socialist at the helm too…(just like us). He too cried foul and took up for Muslims sensibilities. In other words..he was scared just like obama. However, the French people showed some guts and papers printed the cartoons in spite of Muslim threats. Seems socialists are coward everywhere they show up.

Protesting the violence of the Extremist Muslims in the middle east. In other words doing exactly what many commentors and articles on the Blaze keep accusing them of NOT doing.

I smell the work of alinsky all over this. It’s in the paint. allah-alinsky-akhbar.. ‘community organizing’ would dictate that dividing Christians and Jews would be an invaluable thing. Why now? Because obama and his alinsky czars have been active in the jihadist movement for some time. They have identical goals, Christians and Jews are an age old alliance that is best out of the way if you are obama and want to win an election.

Monkies have 48 chromosomes and Jesus had 24; 23 from Mary and 1 from the Holy Spirit. They have found a sample of Christ’s blood.
Humans have 46 chromosomes by the way.

  Please stop. You wanna dolt around with magical cloud sitting figures with talking snakes and a burning bush who makes a baby without sex so he can father himself, fine. Leave science out of the myths.

  Sorry for being so sarcastic. I just feel this is ridiculous and merits a little humor.

  Can science explain love? Or hate? Does science have an answer for good and evil? Can science cure homosexuality or a murderous evil individual? Does science have an answer for the spirit and the soul or where a person goes when they die? Nahhhhh we will ALL find out some day

Now is not the time for infighting between Jews and Christians. You are surrounded by people that want to blow you off the planet. Safety in numbers.

I would say this is more accurately a Jewish – Catholic issue.

Well, well, those calling Jesus names will get a chance to face Him with it. I believe he will be more gracious than the hell they have already signed themselves up for. Uh…good with that (not.)

  Look at it this way, Blacky…at least they’re not throwing rocks, shooting or raping people or blowing themselves up. Evolution is sneakin’ up on them. ( I can’t help but laugh at this one too. Good story Billy.)
