Christian leaders disturbed by visit to Palestine


 Twelve South African Christian leaders have returned home after a visit to the occupied state of Palestine.

In a statement issued by the delegation, led by the presiding Bishop of the South African Methodist Church, the group said it was "traumatised" by what it saw there.

The delegates described Palestinian East Jerusalem and the Israeli-Occupied West Bank as reminiscent of "an apartheid ambush".

The Christian leaders affirm the right to security, self-determination and dignity for both Palestinians and Israelis
