Is condemning the attack on Gaza a deviation from the teaching of the Word? That is, in one word: is neglecting the causes of the oppressed on earth, namely those whose necks are under the knife of an insane butcher, a new Nero, Adolph Hitler or Joseph Stalin…, consistent with “the Incarnate Word”? I was ...

Ethics of the Country
It was not the war raging in our vicinity that compelled me to write, nor was it what befalls us of its shrapnel, or rather it was not the only thing that compelled me, but it was also this aggravated wound that we were not able to protect our military and security institutions and their ...

Today, Benjamin Netanyahu is reassured by the interpretation of the prophets. The murderousness that employs heaven in its service is mocked by lunatics. What is he saying? He is awaiting a victory in Gaza that will fulfill what the prophet Isaiah had said! Netanyahu does not represent all of his nation. Of them, there are ...
Read moreThe Sin of the World
Our Christian heritage said about Adam and Eve that they sinned by disobeying God and His Word. However, the lure that led them to this disobedience was “and you will be like gods” (Genesis 3:5). This is the sin of the world from which every sin flows: for a person to think that, without God, ...

A friend of mine recommended to me that, when I write about “Palestine,” I should divide the word into two words, and insert a space between its letters to prevent electronic intelligence from noticing it! He told me: “If you mention Palestine, the platform you use for writing will not allow your lines to reach ...

Nothing disturbs the peace of your life like a story that violates the dreams of children on earth. Have you seen the little girls who were playing the game “The martyr’s funeral march”? Yes, do not be surprised! Three or four girls, the eldest of whom was no more than seven years old, put a ...

I was astounded by the word spoken, days ago, by Metropolitan Alexios, the Archbishop of Tiberias. He said: “As long as there is at least one Christian in the territory of Gaza, I will not go anywhere, because I can be a hope for them, so I will stay in the province that believes in ...
Read moreThe Arab Brethren
When we project, on this Arab expanse, intimate expressions taken from our households, from our flesh and blood, or from what we believe in, we do not only mean to talk about an ancient kinship in which some of us go back to our father Abraham or our grandfather Adam, but rather about an ongoing ...
Read moreThe Priest of crises!
When crises become severe, I do not think that there is a priest in our time who is remembered by people, like Father George Massouh. George left us after having left, in many of his acquaintances, (the impression) that he had taken with him the whip with which he used to lash the dove sellers, ...
Read moreObeying the Goodness
Mahmoud Darwish’s recommendation to President Mahmoud Abbas was to tell those who are occupying their land: “take my mother’s land by the sword, still, I will not sign my name to sell even a single inch of the thistles around the corn fields”. The recommendation is valid for all the peers of the two Mahmouds ...
