Christian pilgrims mark Palm Sunday in Jerusalem

A day of Somber remembrance.

Yet Chairman MaObama wants Israel to hand their CAPITAL of Jerusalem over to the mad Palestinian Muslims, all for the sake of peace, or in reality speak to bribe them thus validating their violence in order for them to stop attacking Israel indiscriminately?

Get real and not in this lifetime.




The Associated Press: "JERUSALEM — Hundreds of Christians from around the world marched from the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem to mark Palm Sunday, retracing the steps of Jesus 2,000 years ago.

The pilgrims waved national and church flags and followed a white donkey, which according to Christian tradition was the way Jesus entered the holy city.

A few dozen Israeli police stood by, a small fraction of the forces on duty in recent weeks because of Palestinian unrest. There were no incidents in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.

'I see the problems here as a part of the trip, just showing the extremes of this God-drenched city,' said Jane Voigts, a pastor from San Luis Obispo, California. 'I've really seen more grace and hope amidst the suffering here.'

In past weeks, Palestinian demonstrations followed disclosure of Israeli plans to build apartments in east Jerusalem, as well as rededication of an ancient synagogue in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City.

Most West Bank Palestinians were banned from Jerusalem Sunday in keeping with standing Israeli regulations. Palestinians and backers demanding free access to the holy city briefly broke through a crossing between the West Bank town of Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Police drove them back and arrested 12. Palestinians said one of those arrested was local Fatah activist Abbas Zaki.

Others celebrated at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, the traditional birthplace of Jesus, and in the Gaza Strip, home to a small Christian population.

'This day is not so much for celebration as a more somber remembrance,' said 25-year-old Julia Fitzpatrick from Detroit, Michigan, who lives in east Jerusalem and volunteers for a humanitarian nonprofit organization.

'What a lot of visitors who may have more distance may not see, is that this is an important witness for the Palestinian Christian population and their traditions,' she said."

  1. If Obama gets his way then there will be no more processions like this in Jerusalem.  It would and is forbidden under Islamic Law.

    That Mencken quote is dynamite! "The urge to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it!" uh huh!

    We see Christians and Jews abused all over the world, and now we have our own President leaving the Israeli prime minister without a dinner partner - no photos. We have had a sad couple of weeks in America.

  4. Obama's Muslim roots are showing through and we see him having trouble unlearning old habits like bowing to Muslim Kings and pissing on Jews. Mark Levin said it Friday during his show and I agree whoeheartedly with his assertion, Obama has a Jew problem.
