Across The Wall - Israel/Palestine

January 2010

What is it like to be a Christian in the heart of Palestine? Can faith really prevail over violence and division? In the Catholic parish of Nablus, a few are still determined to bear their cross.
Born a Jew, converted Catholic and expert on the history of Islam, Father Vincent Nagle seemed predestined to come to Palestine. Now a priest in Nablus, one of the most volatile cities in the region, he tries to make sense of the divisions that dominate everyday life there: "This land. It is precisely what unites us that also divides us". Caught in the crossfire between communities, living in Nablus as a Christian is not easy. "Here for the Muslims, we are Christians. And for the Jews, we are Arabs", a parishioner tells Vincent. Yet, the few-hundred strong community is held together by the belief that they are preserving an essential part of the land: "If all the Christians leave, all thats left is a museum!"

@GILDAMS We dont fight in his name, we fight for him

@GILDAMS Not quite, many have fought Holy wars. What isn't fair is that a few, namely the Zionists, use the Torah to justify their thirst for money and power... That is not God's will.

@ShaktipatSeer What you are is in a completely wrong video... If you consider yourself a fake deity then may I ask you how did you create yourself? Physically, intellectually, spiritually, scientifically, theologically, phylosophically, physiologically, etc. wise we are nothing but CREATURES. Get used to it, you will die and disappear, and none of the new agey crap will save you from that. Live with it. God created you and you live on HIS creation.
