Another example of Palestinian intolerance to Christians. Pastor Isa Bajalia, a Palestinian-American working in Ramallah, fled to Jerusalem following threats and demands for protection money. The Jerusalem Post writes:
The Palestinian security official subsequently told Bajalia to register some of his family’s land in the official’s name and pay him $30,000, the pastor said. Bajalia said he had also been watched for six months.
It was not immediately clear Wednesday if the pastor was threatened specifically because of his missionary work among Muslims or as a result of the land his family owned in the city, or a combination of the two.
This flies in the face of the visting Archbishop of Canterbury, who is rankling Israelis.
