From Catholic Leader Rejects Israel’s Jewish Identity: Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah, an Arab from Nazareth and the Roman Catholic Church’s top cleric in the Holy Land, said Israel should not be designated a Jewish state. “If it’s Jewish, it’s not Muslim or Christian,” he said.

You’ll have 50,000 people who live here leaving East Jerusalem in minutes,” said Jamil Sanduqa, head of the popular committee that governs the Shuafat neighborhood.
