Exclusive: The Archbishop of Canterbury just went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
What she did there was absolutely disgraceful.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
We have to start with context. Just before she left, she visited the Nova exhibition in London.
It is a place to bear witness and she met survivors and bereaved family members of the October 7 atrocities.
Which makes what follows impossible to explain or forgive.
It is not just the Jews she has betrayed. She is misleading British Christians too.
She said nothing about the Islamist oppression that Palestinian Christians themselves identify as one of the greatest threats facing their community.
Instead she blamed everything on the Jews.
The population used to be 10% Christian. Now it is 98.5% Muslim. Even Bethlehem has become overwhelmingly Muslim. Like much of the Middle East Christians are squeezed out by Islamist oppression.
And she did nothing but blame Israel - the only place Christians are safe.
Christian organisations that monitor persecution describe Islamic oppression as the primary driver of persecution.
A young Christian girl was murdered - her pastor received death threats.
The Archbishop said nothing. Just the usual finger pointing at the Jewish state.
And then it is who she chose to stand alongside. She named Layan Nasir, a 26-year-old Anglican woman from Birzeit.
Providing no meaningful context whatsoever she stands smiling as she presented Nasir as an innocent victim of Israeli oppression.
But Nasir was active in the Progressive Democratic Student Pole at Birzeit University, a student movement associated with the PFLP. She stands with the PFLP itself.
The PFLP is designated as a terrorist organisation by the United States, the European Union and Israel.
I was left asking myself why the Archbishop would stand alongside PFLP activists.
So I had a closer look at those she met on the first day and saw this woman - presented as a 25 year old victim of Israel. The Archbishop even listened to her "powerful testimony."
The Archbishop did not name her but it appears to be Zeina Barbar.
Her father spent 21 years in prison for terrorist activity linked to the Second Intifada. He is a PFLP terrorist who threw grenades and took bombs into Jerusalem to help murder Jews.
Zeina Barbar is also PFLP activist. There are many images of her at PFLP engagements, wearing the tell-tale red kaffiyeh and actively engaging in violent protests. This PFLP activity is probably why she was arrested. Hardly the innocent victim she was presented as.
Here she is supporting PFLP figure Samer Arbid who commanded the PFLP cell responsible for the bombing that murdered 17-year-old Rina Shnerb.
And this is her with her laptop - full of stickers showing support for violence.
Just days after standing in solidarity with victims of Oct 7, the Archbishop was standing alongside supporters of one of the very groups that went from village to village massacring Jews.
She presented them as innocent and then used them to attack Jews herself. Unforgivable.
Big question. Why is the Archbishop choosing to ignore Islamist persecution while platforming figures from the PFLP network and presenting them as innocent victims?
Instead of helping Jews and Christians she is betraying them all. Full story here: david-collier.com/archbishop-of-…
