Plight of detained Palestinian Christian woman highlighted by Archbishop of Canterbury

The Archbishop of Canterbury has criticised Israel over the arrest of a Palestinian Christian woman in the occupied West Bank.
Justin Welby says the plight of Layan Nasir breaks assurances made by Israel about the treatment of Christians.
The case highlights the controversial Israeli practice of "administrative detention" that's seen more than 3,500 Palestinians imprisoned for months without charge.

No one from the west speaks about the Palestinian Christian’s

[@hanimohammed6345]

The west don’t care about anything except themselves

[@johnnyrocker7495]

Because it suits the narrative to portray them all as Islamic radicals, which of course is complete nonsense, even amongst the Muslim population.

[@user-yn3ml5zp1p]

The MSM knows it derails the narrative.

[@justforgetaboutit5987]

Palestinians are Palestinians Christians or Muslims

[@azizshaikh7186]

They will be blamed for antisemitism. Because as per their belief God's choicest people are free to do whatever they want including killing of 40000 Innocents men,Women, Childrens and patient in hospitals in Gaza.

[@patriciaoreilly8907]

Its taken him long Enough to speak up for Christians ?

[@am1156]

1. Took him long enough to say anything! Even about the suffering of Christian Palestinians. He has ignored Munther Isaac with a passion. 2. So Palestinian lives in general are not worth speaking up about. Only this particular Christian woman. 3. Yup, Christian lives mean more to him than human lives in general. He made that clear during the Syrian war. Expected more from him as a ''devout'' Christian and Archbishop. 4. What is the point of him?

[@lifeisimportantkate]

The point of him is to say nothing at all.

[@PMMMac-rt1un]

As a Christian, this is just awful, but no more awful than the thousands of other innocent civilians of other faiths and none, who have been taken prisoner (or should I say, hostage) by the barbaric IDF.

Some of the Zs believe they will build their third temple after sacrificing the red cows with no blemishes and under the age of 3. This is after they "cleanse" Gaza and Judea and Samaria (aka West Bank). Its crazy because a lot of evangelical Christians in the USA actually support them on this. They don't care about what Jesus preached. About keeping the commandments and how there is no need for blood sacrifices.
