The Jordanian born priest and pastor of the Latin Church, Abouna/Father Aridah explained, "Aboud is a holy place. The Holy Family and the Samaritans all traveled through here. Our oldest standing church is from the 5th century and our newest was built in the 11th century. Aramaic, the language that Jesus spoke was spoken here until the days of the Crusades when Arabic became the mother tongue.

"We are facing many problems and difficulties today because of The Wall that has cut off the ancient roadway, the destruction of our olive trees and the stealing of our water. Anyone who talks security for Israel should understand about the Green Line and The Wall in Aboud has been built 6 kilometers from it. If Israeli's want security they should stay on their land and off of ours. It's all about justice and injustice is all we receive.

"The Israeli government talks about compensation, but all the landowners get is $20. 00 per uprooted tree when each season the farmer would receive at least $200. 00 from selling the olives from just one tree! The Israeli government says they take the trees to public land but they really sell the trees for $1,000. Tiffany & Co alphabet00 each!

"I went to speak to American Congress about this injustice. They have been informed, but they don't do anything about it. I was the guest of Senator Henry Hyde and Bush and Cheny know about our situation. We are still waiting for justice!"

"We have no problems with the Israeli people, but we have major problems with their government! We have no problem with the illegal settlers who came in the 1980's and we have no problems with Muslims. All our problems are with the Israeli government and the occupation!

"I have no problem with anyone, all I am saying is that the view of the Church is for justice and to honor the dignity of all human beings. The Holy Land does not need walls, the Holy Land needs bridges. " .
