Speaker 1, a nun who moved to The Holy Land, describes Christians in Palestinian areas living under occupation with checkpoints and permits: “A Christian who lives in Bethlehem cannot go to Jerusalem, to the Holy Sepulchre without a permit by Israel, and they don't usually give those permits, especially now.” She calls Bethlehem “a gilded cage” and says, “There's very much an apartheid system.” Settlements are expanding, “taking over the land that belongs to the people of Palestine,” and the wall and checkpoints isolate communities, disrupting faith life and schooling. She blames Christian Zionists in the US who fund settlements: “the Christian Zionists are speaking in our name.” She cites the fear of loss of Christian presence, “Temple Mount is the area where the temple existed at the time of Christ.” She urges political change and Western Christian advocacy for Palestinian Christians, noting attacks on churches and confiscations at Jacob's Well.

This is my first time here and I can't believe what I'm seeing. The house of a lady who was peacefully protesting has been set on fire.

The Israeli army is not helping either, as they have limited resources to put out the fire. They want to keep the Palestinians restless, sleepless, and joyless. Some soldiers even come with face paint, as if they're going to war.
