(IsraelNN.com) A prominent Australian cleric has justified Palestinian terror attacks against Israel, asserting they are a desperate cry for justice, the Canberra Times reports.
In an address to the synod of his diocese, George Browning, the Anglican Bishop of Canberra, denounced Israels treatment of the Palestinians, saying that the Jewish state is perpetrating continued humiliation and deprivation of the Palestinian people.
Terrorism must be condemned, Browning said, it is too often an action of simple bastardry. However, it is not always: in Palestine it is as much a desperate cry for justice in the face of injustice.
While the bishop did say that he supports Israels right to exist and condemns terrorist attacks on civilians, he added that, I equally condemn Israel's calculated moves to produce justification for the minimalising of Palestine.
He also said that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon "should seek an invitation from Palestinians to spend a few nights in Ramallah or Nablus (Shechem). He could walk amongst people in the street and local market, visit the local hospital, and talk to children at the school. This would be the way of real hope."

Actually the good bishop ought spend a week riding buses in Israet he might get a bit different perspective on the situation.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon "should seek an invitation from Palestinians to spend a few nights in Ramallah or Nablus (Shechem). He could walk amongst people in the street and local market, visit the local hospital, and talk to children at the school. Yes, another brilliant liberal idea - strong in emotionalism, weak in actual logic.

Perhaps if the good bishop had to ride one of those buses to work every day, he'd sing a different tune.

Urrrp. This guy should just go back to considering crucial things like same-sex marriage for bishops, etc.

So killing off children and civilians is 'a cry for justice'? What kind of justice is this nutter referring to?

Further evidence this church is losing its collective mind.

Lawrence Auster of
Veiw From the Right does a good job of dissecting the Palestinianism and Dhimmitude rampant among leftist Christians.
