Rev Munther Isaac says Palestinian Christians are under attack; that the West Bank is not livable

At Reverand Munther Isaac's Christmas Eve mass in Bethlehem last year, the Evangelical Lutheran pastor told his Bethlehem flock: "If Jesus were to be born today, he would be born under the rubble in Gaza." The priest, one of the most prominent clerical voices for Palestinians, probably did not expect the war on Gaza would continue for another nine months, nor that a planned trip to the UK to highlight the plight of Palestinian Christians would be cancelled due to an Israeli blockade on the West Bank. In an exclusive interview with The New Arab journalist Oliver Mizzi, Rev Munther talks about the struggle of Palestinians in both the West Bank and Gaza - and how these places have become "unlivable", especially for Christian Palestinians, due to the brutal Israeli military occupation or aggressions.
