The Archbishop of Canterbury Blamed Israel for Palestinian Muslims’ Persecution of Christians

Apologizing for crimes against Jews committed eight centuries ago, while slandering the Jewish state.

On the Sunday before Christmas, an article coauthored by a Jerusalem clergyman and Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury—the highest-ranking cleric in the Church of England—appeared in the London Times decrying the treatment of Christians in Israel and citing a “century-long decline in the Christian population in the Holy Land.” Meanwhile, Welby has been silent about the recent spike in attacks on Christians in India, and didn’t see fit to write essays on the persecution of his coreligionists elsewhere in the Middle East.
