Persecuted Priest to EU: "You Boycott Israel as Christian Blood Spills"Standing before the European Parliament, a spokesman for the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem promised to continue the fight against any attempt by anyone to damage the Israeli economy, or to sour relationships between Christians and Jews in Israel.
Naddaf recently stood before the European Parliament for an emergency session on the recent limitations being imposed on Israeli produce in European markets. In his speech, Father Naddaf said that the decision to exclusively mark Israeli products in Europe is racist and anti-Semitic, whether this is being done openly or quietly on the side. "This is anti-Semitism at its worse," Naddaf exclaimed, noting that singling out products made in Israel will hurt all the citizens of Israel, Arab and Jew alike. But most of all it will damage the Palestinians, as tens of thousands of Palestinian families earn their living from the very factories being boycotted by the Europeans. "Singling out Israeli products betrays the very core of Europe's Christian heritage, and is yet another sign of the weakening Christian values in Europe," Naddaf told the parliamentarians. The priest added: "This is the Jewish nation, the nation of Israel—and we, the Christians, must protect her, and protect the freedoms we Christians have here in Israel. We Christians should be protecting this holy land, which is the source of the Christian faith." Father Naddaf supports the full integration of Arabic-speaking Christians in all of Israel's institutions, including the army and national service. As a result of that, he has received threats by other Israeli Arabs, even politicians. His oldest son, Jubran, was physically attacked on December 2013 for the activities of his father. On the other hand, Naddaf has received the support of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Ministry of Defense, members of the Knesset and other Israeli officials.
