Speaking from his unique vantage point as a Christian pastor on the ground in Bethlehem, he reveals how Israel&#8217;s campaign to eliminate the Palestinian people is a continuation of a colonial project with nineteenth-century roots that has, since 1948, established systems of entrenched discrimination and segregation worse than South Africa&#8217;s apartheid regime.
