They should be helped by one of the organizations out there.

Why is that child still with these criminals?

Wow, that's just amazing. While hundreds of Palestinians in E.Jerusalem and West Bank wander many nights without food,shelter or money, these Jews who broke into a defenseless church are promised an apartment(while demanding for more)? Ha! The second class treatment of Arabs in Israel and occupied territories is hilarious(yet sad at the same time).

#4 it is obvious you live elsewhere and are not informed. The PA in East Jerusalem live very well--and if you have a problem with the "west bank" you should send your complaints to Abbas and Hamas who live like kings on the money the west sends them. If the people there are homeless guess who is at fault.

??????????????

mentally ill. Three squares a day and a nice room with padded walls.

including me.... it may behove folks to look a a little deeper ....it may be that there is a real need or it could be they are working the system ... but if there is a real need then matt 25:34-40 applys Matthew 25:34-40 (New International Version) 34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Jason - you would make a good scrooge charicter in the "christmas carol"...... "except for the grace of G-d there walk we"

Violet is not Jewish, her child is not Jewish. Let them go beg in Ramallah or Jenin or some such. I am far more interested in Israeli social services benefiting Jews.

" I am far more interested in Israeli social services benefiting Jews. " And what's your reasoning behind that?

centuries because people religious and secular with cold hearts turned them away??? even in the midst of such cold atitudes there were many Jews that were blessed because someone cared... when g-d presents you with someone in need he does not expect you to shut the door in thier face..... yes it could be this couple is working the system but then it also could be they have a legitmate need...

The mother and son are not Jewish, so why doesn't some church help them?

why doesn't some church help them? good question... the Lord will one day ask you ...me and jewish& christian organizations whether we open our hand to help....what will be our answer?

You have to have a heart . There is a child involved and he can't be neglected ...

the Israeli state is mindless, cruel, run by borderline personality disordered Russians and they will NOT help you if you get into trouble - in fact NOBODY will help you...

not under siege that is the palis leaders problem who takes all their contribution money to their own pockets, and the husband is jewish the wife is chritian, btw, cheack your facts straight and yourself.

everyone got safe haven in church cause chritians believe in helping the poor the needed and the peacfull acceptance of strangers. you can never know when the angels r going to come and you sould be respectfull to all man kind that is the chritian way.

It sounds as if you have an agenda other than protesting what you perceive to be a lack of assistance for one obviously troubled family. Where the hell is all that venom and that racist rant coming from, anyway? Not only that, but presumably you're licensed to practice psychiatry since you've already diagnosed an entire country based on a situation involving one particular family. Frankly, you sound a lot more dysfunctional than any of those Russians you're railing against.

Let all remember the blessing of life that G-d has give each of us and stretch out our hands to others that has needs... wheather its this couple or someone you know in your community.
