The anti-Israel bias of the Anglican Church of Canada
by David Virtue, VOL:
Archbishop Justin Welby flip flops on the hospital bombing.
The Anglican Church of Canada issued the following statement condemning the murder of Jews by Hamas:
“On Saturday the world watched in horror as Hamas launched a rapid, devastating barrage of violence against Israel. Rockets, drone attacks, the killing of civilians and the taking of hostages have ignited long simmering tensions between Israel and Palestine. Israel has responded with ongoing rocket attacks and the death toll on all sides rises daily.”
Orthodox Canadian Anglican blogger David of Samizdat had this to say; “On October the 18th, the ACoC wrote a letter to Justin Trudeau demanding respect for international law in Gaza. This was provoked by the bombing of the Al Ahli Arab hospital which is run by the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem. Unlike the devastating barrage of violence in the prior statement, the bombing fell into the much worse category of a “crime against humanity,” because it was not aimed at Jews.”
“The Anglican Church of Canada and the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, in one deft move, have not only demonstrated their anti-Jewish bias, but collectively shot themselves in the foot: the rocket that destroyed the hospital was fired by Hamas.”
The Jerusalem diocese condemned this atrocious attack, in the strongest terms, saying that it has transpired in the heart of Gaza. Reports say that some unverified 500 lives were lost in what can only be described as a crime against humanity.
Ironically the ACoC and Jerusalem diocese did not call the slaughter of over 1000 Jews a “crime against humanity.”
Hospitals, by the tenets of international humanitarian law, are sanctuaries, yet this assault has transgressed those sacred boundaries.
