In solidarity with them we started a campaign to endorse the call of their leaders for free access to Jerusalem see:
We also sent our request for
endorsers to most of the mainstream churches in Canada, none of whom
answered us directly. We are aware, however, that the President of the
Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops did send a letter to PM Stephen
Harper on March 29, 2010, highlighting some of the problems faced by
Palestinian Christians that limit their basic freedoms*.
The endorsers names are posted on our website, just go to www.cpavancouver.org under Support for Easter in the Holy Land
without Apartheid Passes and see Complete list of endorsers click here!! or access the following link http://www.cpavancouver.org/Endorsers.docx
Thanks again for your support and
solidarity.
Next Year in a Free Jerusalem and a Free Palestine

* Letter from CCCB President Bishop Pierre Morissette to
Prime Minister Stephen Harper regarding the situation in the Holy Land
Palestinian Christians (as other Palestinians) are suffering from either brutal Israeli occupation or a denial of their right to return to their ancestral homeland by racist Israeli laws.
