JERUSALEM (AFP) – A leading church figure in the Middle East said Monday Christians across the region were facing a “tragedy,” and accused the international community of failing to act.
“The situation of Christians, especially in Syria and Iraq, is a tragedy,” said Archbishop Pierbattista Pizzaballa, apostolic administrator of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, in a press conference ahead of the Christmas holidays.
The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem heads the Roman Catholic Church in the Holy Land.
He said up to two-thirds of Christians have left in those two countries, citing in particular Aleppo — the previously mixed city in northern Syria which has been devastated by more than five years of civil war.
“In Aleppo, before the war there were 300,000 (Christians),” he said.
“Now it is about 50,000 maximum.”
He accused world governments of failing to act to help stabilise the region, instead resorting to “slogans.”
“The international community now limit themselves to slogans and some economical support. Nothing more than that — it is very weak.”

It has been about religion since 9-11. The muslims are the army of satan and allies with ignorant progressive marxists and banker globalist.
Islam is Tolerant of Other Religions The Myth:Religious minorities have flourished under Islam.Muslims are commanded to protect Jews and Christians (the People of the Book) and do no harm to them. In Sura 109, the Quran says, "To you, your religion.To me, mine." The Truth:Religious minorities have not “flourished” under Islam. In fact, they always dwindle to mere shadows after a few centuries of persecution and discrimination. Some were converted from their native religion by brute force, others under the agonizing strain of dhimmitude.What Muslims call “tolerance,”others correctly identify as institutionalized discrimination. The consignment of Jews and Christians to dhimmis under Islamic rule means that they are not allowed the same religious rights and freedoms as Muslims.They cannot share their faith,for example, or build houses of worship without permission.The
The crescent moon is the most common Islamic symbol. In fact, it is found on the top of every Muslim mosque around the world and on the flags of many Islamic nations. The crescent moon represents the god of Islam, Allah, who was the pagan moon deity of Mohammed's tribe, the Quraysh of Arabia. When Mohammed conquered Mecca in Saudi Arabia by force in 630 A.D. he destroyed all of the 360 pagan tribal deities in the Kaaba and set up his tribal deity, the moon god, Allah, as the chief deity of Arabia. Later, when he tried to convince the Jews and Christians of Arabia to worship Allah, they refused, knowing the true identity of Allah, and Mohammed then began his bloody conquest of the Arabian peninsula, slaughtering thousands by the sword, the very same Islamic sword celebrated on the Shriner's red fez!
Hopefully most here are not so blind as to see who supports who. Do you see the connection? TIN foil or not..something smells like sulfur.
9:15 thank you
Islam was created by Talmudian Rabbis to justify the murder of goyim
Pray for the lives of the suffering Christians in those lands. They are being killed and tortured. The Christians need help.
9:15am I can't make the connection you are referencing, please explain further. Thank you.
915 what you're describing sounds oddly similar to the Christian crusades
Christians everywhere in the world are in danger because Islam is a religion of pure evil. Non Muslims the world over should be aware of this and do everything they can to completely destroy that evil.
