His statements came during a Thursday afternoon visit to the protest tent in Sheikh Jarrah, in East Jerusalem, and the protest tent in Mount of Olives. He also visited areas where Israel recently demolished Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem.
Hanna slammed the illegal Israeli policies in East Jerusalem and said that Israel wants to demolish Palestinian homes and annex Palestinian lands.
“This is a racist policy, this policy is unjust and illegal”, he stated, “We reject these policies, the Palestinians in Jerusalem are natives, not intruders or strangers, but Israel wants to terrify and intimidate the Palestinians in order to leave the city”.
Hanna added that the Israeli policies are dangerous and require serious intervention from the Arabs, from the Muslims and Christians around the globe.
Archbishop Hanna returned to Palestine on Wednesday after touring in Denmark, Sweden and Canada, where he held several seminars on Jerusalem and the illegal Israeli policies.
Yes I agree Palestinian does refer to both Arabs and Jews who lived together in peace until Zionism came and displaced the Palestinian Arabs and stole their land. palestinian arabs have always lived in Palestine, the Language was always Arabic. Just go to google and search of the 470 Palestinian villages that were demolished by the Zionist terrorts. hey, I don’t know where u get your information. Your living in fantasy!

Arabs were always there, Jews are of the “Habaronn” or Hebrew race.
The Tanakh, written by Israelites states in 1 Chronciles 1:11 that Palestinians were their first and Abraham descended from them.
There is no evidence to suggest Jews lived longer than the Philistines (Palestinians) who were their first.
Try reading your history books/ religious books before you spew lies given by modern day zionists.
