1930s, Jerusalem, Palestine 
Church of All Nations, Gethsemane, photographed by the Palestinian Albina Brothers.
The Church of All Nations was built by the Franciscans between 1919 and 1924 on the relics of an ancient Byzantine church next to the Garden of Gethsemane.
‘Gethsemane’ is derived from the Aramaic word for ‘olive press’ as the garden has many olive trees, eight of them thought to date back to the time of Jesus Christ. Pals @palsofnations |

@USAmbIsrael Huckabee told @TuckerCarlson that in Palestinian schools, we are taught from age five that "the greatest thing is to kill."
Mr. Ambassador, I was one of those five-year-olds.
Your demonization of Palestinians is a fictionalized hallucination that failed to teach me, and millions of other Palestinian youth, the hate you claim is our heritage. Obviously, that education system prepped me well to excel in the U.S. and become a contributing, proud American citizen.
I am not claiming Palestinians are perfect. We have many internal failures and a desperate need for major reforms. But to cast an entire population, including Christians, as potential suicide bombers when asked if we can visit our own churches in Jerusalem is a level of political and unethical recklessness I never expected from a Christian Ambassador.
Are you truly willing to continue confining 5.5 million people forever, including your own brothers and sisters in Christ, for the sins committed by a few?
Even when you fail the Christians of Palestine, God will remain their vindicator no matter how many walls and checkpoints you and your friends continue to build.
