The Leftist Christians who put this shameful exhibition together will eventually find that their Muslim friends who support the Palestinian jihad have many of the same views of them that they have of the Jews.
“Norwegian church hosts photo exhibition saying Palestinians are ‘crucified daily,’” by Cnaan Liphshiz, JTA, September 24, 2021:
(JTA) — Several church groups in Norway are organizing a photo exhibition from the West Bank, to be displayed in a cathedral, whose text states that Palestinians undergo “daily crucifixions.”
The exhibition, which has prompted protest by the country’s Jewish community and a pro-Israel group, is part of Church Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel, an annual event that takes place in various locales in Norway and in the past has featured calls to boycott Israel.
“The ‘Church Week’ has been problematic with its one sidedness and demonization of one party,” Ervin Kohn, the head of the Jewish Community in Oslo, wrote on Facebook Thursday. “This year’s event is sinking even lower,” he added.
The description of the exhibition is the “most problematic” because it evokes a centuries-old form of Christian antisemitism that blames Jews for the death of Jesus, he added.
The West Bank has divine “protection,” the exhibition text states. “Not least, this becomes clear when we look at the people. Those who live with daily ‘crucifixions’, but who still stay,” reads the organizers’ text on the exhibition, which began on Sept. 9 and will end Sunday.
The 2015 Church Week featured a prayer for the fall of Israel’s security barrier, which the priest who led the prayer called “a wall used for murder.”
MIFF, a pro-Israel group in Norway, wrote in a statement Wednesday that in the description of the exhibition, which is at the cathedral of Bergen, a city located about 150 miles west of Oslo, “The Palestinians are Jesus. The Jews are the horrible criminals who not only crucified Jesus, but who crucify him again. Daily.”…

Are they showing pictures of Christian churches in the “Palestinian” zone that have been torched and vandalised?

The people Moslems (non-Jews or non- Christians) who live in that area “Palestine” were not called Palestinians until around 1967.Jesus was a Jew from the house of David all historical sources including non-religious people have agree to this for over a 2 thousand years .His early followers when Jesus was alive were all Jewish ,Islam did become a thing till after at least 660 years after Jesus was crucified .The current “Palestinians” that live in Israel have the right to vote ,hold positions in elect offices, can have government jobs, run business ,have full rights as full citizens of Israeli same as Jews and Christians citizens in that country. They have more rights in Israel then they would have in any major Moslem country in the Middle East. The average middle class Moslem living in Israel has a higher standard of living then most Moslems in any Moslem majority country in the world. This non-sense comparing living as a Moslem in Israel is like being crucified everyday when you have all the rights as Christians, and Jews is beyond pale .The trouble with many Moslems they can not be happy with non-Moslems having the same rights as them they always have to upper most because they are the best “special people” according to Allah.

The first use of the word PALESTINIAN in reference to Arabs was written by Russian Orthodox theologian, Palestinian scholar and Hebraist, Akim Alexeevitch Olesnitskiy; He was a professor in the Department of Biblical Archeology at the Kiev Theological Academy.
Khalil Beidas, a Lebanese writer, novelist and prolific translator wrotes in his preface to his translation of Akim Olesnitsky’s ‘A Description of the Holy Land’:
“…the people of Palestine were in need of a geography book about their country… the Palestinian peasant waits impatiently for winter to come, for the season’s rain to moisten his fossilized fields”.
This represents the first instance in modern history where the term ‘Palestinian’ or ‘Filastini’ appears in Arabic. Beidas, though born of Lebanese parents promoted the idea of a separate Palestinian nationality.

The West Bank ethnicity called ‘Palestinian’ was invented by the KGB in 1967 out of West Bank Jordanian citizens for political purposes.

Not according to Allah, but to Mohammed.

To call Jesus ‘Palestinian’ contradicts the Bible and is also an anachronism.
Jesus was never called a ‘PALESTINIAN’ … JESUS ONLY CALLED HIMSELF ‘A JEW’ (Jn4.22) and one the highest compliments recorded in the New Testament is when Jesus called Nathaniel a ‘TRUE ISRAELITE’.
“We Jews know whom we worship because it is from the Jews that salvation comes” – John 4 v 22
JESUS WAS A PATRIOTIC ISRAELITE, NEVER A PALESTINIAN.
Jesus Christ is a Jew and a descendant of King David {Matthew 1 v 17}. Thus, Jesus was a patriotic Israelite who would have no difficulty endorsing Israel’s divinely-promised right to exist. Jesus wasn’t a Palestinian in any sense. Even the word ‘Palestine’ never appears in the NT.
THE NEW TESTAMENT IS A VERY ZIONIST BOOK. The name “Jerusalem” occurs 146 times in the New Testament and its synonym ‘Zion’ occurs 7 times. The New Testament also mentions ‘Israel’ or ‘Israelite’ 77 times. In contrast, Jerusalem is NEVER MENTIONED AT ALL in the Koran. Daniel Pipes offered $1 million to anyone who can find “Jerusalem” in the Koran.
The New Testament mentions ‘Israel’ or ‘Israelite’ 77 times. In contrast, Jerusalem is NEVER MENTIONED AT ALL in the Koran.
The Koran refers to ‘The LAND’ of Israel as the land Allah assigned to Jews and where Allah commanded Jews to dwell. Consequently, the Koran is also a Zionist book, since it acknowledges that Banu Isra’il are commanded by Allah to live in the Holy Land.
Since Jerusalem is not mentioned one single time in the Koran, it expresses no awareness of Jerusalem. The locality that is the focus of the Koran is the ‘Forbidden Mosque’ and its exact location is never named. The Umayyads under Abd al-Malik tried (unsuccessfully) to change the religious center from Mecca/Medina to Jerusalem. Except for Caliph Abd al Malik who built the Dome of the Rock, no Arab has thought Jerusalem was of importance to Arabs or to Islam. Arabs have almost entirely ignored Jerusalem for 1400 years. Mosques in Damascus and Baghdad and other shrines in Najaf, Multan, Karbala and Qom have been far more important than Jerusalem to many Muslims.
Moreover, the word ‘Israel’ is mentioned 46 times in the Koran.’ The Children of Israel’ are mentioned 20 times in the Koran, often in the context of ‘The Land’ of Israel.
Importantly, the name ‘Palestine’ does not occur a single time in the Koran. ‘Palestine’ is the name given to Israel by the sarcastic Roman conquerors. Throughout history, Arabs have preferred to call this region ‘Lower Syria’.
The ‘eternal, perfect, and complete’ book of Allah never mentions ‘Palestine’, but mentions ‘Israel’ only. There is no support for the name ‘Palestine’ from Islam. Muslims referred to the region as Lower Syria.
Furthermore, THE QIBLA NEVER FACED JERUSALEM. Early Arabian Muslims claimed that they prayed towards ‘Syria’, rather than to Jerusalem. All the early mosques faced only towards PETRA in southern Jordan (Lower Syria) and never towards Jerusalem. The idea that Mohammed prayed towards Jerusalem is not confirmed by any external or archaeological evidence. It is clear that Arabs prayed towards their pagan holy city of Nabatean Petra, where there were kept their holiest idols of Dhu Shara (the war god) and of Allat (the Arabian mother goddess). Mohammed’s tribe worshipped ‘ALLAT’ (Kora=Greek for ‘maiden’). The Koraysh tribe was named for the MAIDEN-GODDESS (Kora) it worshipped at Petra, NOT at JERUSALEM.
Q:When did Jerusalem take on any importance to Muslims?
A:Of the early caliphs, only Abd al Malik took interest in Jerusalem, by inventing a cult of pilgrimage there that had not existed before. Few Muslims went there because the Koran says the pilgrimage is to the ‘Sacred Mosque’. Jerusalem again held an interest for Muslims briefly during the Crusades and in the 20th century when the infamous Nazi Mufti Mohammed Amin al-Husseini promoted the genocidal 1920s myth that “Jews are destroying Al Aqsa”, thus taking Jerusalem out of the shadows of irrelevance where it had languished for centuries. The Mufti was a friend of Hitler, Himmler and Adolf Eichmann. Husseini encouraged the genocidal extermination of Jews and used the Dome of the Rock as an issue to motivate Arabs to hate Jews.
The theories promoting ‘Palestinians’ as a pre-existing people are spurious and contradict the Bible and history, so thus no Christian may endorse them.

Never thought I’d say it Mortimer, but I agree with someone’s references to the bible.
Christianity is a messed up religion, however, it does have some very accurate historical references about who was who in the middle East 2k+ years ago that are still relevant today.
Whereas, the Koran is a mishmash of plagiarised statements put together by a con man.

Jesus taught to love one’s neighbor, and he taught the Golden Rule. He stopped a woman from being stoned to death for adultery. He consoled thieves being crucified beside him. He taught he came not for violent conflict but for reconciliation, understanding and love. Do the Hamas and PA leaders teach these things? Try to find where they do.
IQ Rassooli says
For 1750 years, the Catholic clergy created the anti Jewish BLOOD Libel of the Jews causing the death of Jesus.
For 1700 years and until today no one has pointed out the OBVIOUS based on the New Testament ang Gospels:
1. Every Gospel refers to multiple verses either in Psalms or Prophets describing almost every event of the crucifixion and they all assert these were PROPHESISED. That means they were Pre Destined, by God
Even Jesus reminds his disciples on numerous occasions as to how he will be ‘betrayed’ and will suffer death on the cross.
Since these events were Pre Ordained by God, then neither the Romans, Jesus nor the Jews or Judas could have changed an iota of these since they did not have the Free Will to do so
The most shocking and amazing conclusion is that had there been NO Death and Resurrection, Christianity would not have existed.
Without death, Jesus could not have fulfilled his mission as the redeemer of humanity.
Any comments?

Further to the previous
Is continuing Christian Jew hared JUSIFIABLE?
Donovan Nuera says
Maybe it is time to send the nice recent photos to the Reverend at Bergen Cathedral of the poor Syrian Christian man being strung up to that public fence in Raqaa crucifixion-style with the jihadist (and Palestinianophile) plunging a Bowie knife into his heart then shooting him in the forehead point-blank. Or the hundreds of other Christians crucified since 2014 by ISIS.
tim gallagher says
I fail to find any similarity between the peaceful, thoroughly decent man, Jesus, who some of us also believe was God, and these vicious, extraordinarily violent and evil Palestinians. Here at Jihad Watch I have often read about how these evil Palestinians brainwash their children with hatred and prepare them to go out and murder Jewish people. I also believe that Christianity is the complete opposite of Islam in every way. I wish some of these Christians would wake the hell up to Islam’s nature instead of going on with this garbage they go with.
Kepha says
I cannot see how anyone can read the first page of the New Testament without recognizing that Jesus is a Jew [not was–I believe he rose from the dead on the third day and later ascended into Heaven, from whence he will return to judge the quick and the dead].
Nor can one read so much of the New Testament without recognizing that Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross was a once and for all event in the days when Pontius Pilate was Roman Procurator of Judaea, and that one-time sacrifice on the cross was Jesus’ standing as our substitute to satisfy the penalty due to us; thus atoning for our sins. Hence, to say that anyone or any group re-doing this one-time crucifixion of Christ is absolutely blasphemous, no matter how much you dress it up in the language of “social justice”. Hence, when Muslims say they honor Jesus while denying the crucifixion, they completely miss the point of the Gospel.
For He [the Father] made him [the Son] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him. (2 Cor. 5:21).
This is the Good News for both Jew and Greek–and for those now misled by Islam as well.
It is deeply saddening to see how the established churches of Europe no longer care about the teachings of the NT.
