CALLS ON CHRISTIANS
TO SUPPORT ZIONISM
Archbishop of Mount Sinai Ap-
peals to Members of Greek
Orthodox Church

Porphyrios II. Archbishop of Mount Sinai
from his seat in Jerusalem. has issued an
appeal to all the members of the Greek CStho-
doN Church to support the aspirations of the
Jews. and to work harmoniousIy with the
Iionists in the realization of the Zionist aim.
The following letter has been written by him
in his official capacity as head of the Greek
Church and community in Palestine to Dr.
Chain Weizmann, president of the Zionist
commission to Palestine:
we. who belong to the Hellenic stock,
sympathze with the aspirations of the Jewish
people in regard to the settlement of Palestine.
We think that no claim could be more
justified than this The Jews as the bearers
of modern civilization. and as one of the
most enlightened peoples of the world, will
not only bring all their innate capacities to
bear upon the development of this country
which has been dtSoatcd by Turkish mis-
rule. but will instll in the poverty-strcken
INHABITANTS spirit of progress and emula-
ton and in the course of time Palestine will
again become land flowing with milk and
honey, and will realize the biblical prophecies
and promises.
Hence as a Greek a Christian, and as
Archbishop of Mount Sinai. the mountain of
the Ten Commandments, ! support with all
my heart the aspirations of the Jews, who.
when all is said, have a right 10 settle in
the land of their fathers, which | pray may
henceforth become the land of their birth,
thanks to the initiative and chvalrous pro-
lection of the great and liberal British em-
pirc.
I'VE Christians owe much to Judaism, for
it's Bible is our Bible. and we ought to for
get the mutual grievances which have their
root in the perversty of human nature. In
this holy city Christianity, Islam and Ju-
dasm should hold out the hand to one an
other in perfect harmony.
This is the service of the God whom We
all worship We are all brethren in the
spirit of the verse which says Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as myself and of the
saying The knsman is he who does loving
