"Today we emphasise that the right of return is as holy as Jerusalem. It is inalienable, non- negotiable, and sacred," Bishop Atallah said In a 3 day convention in California which began May 16 and added "The occupation failed at killing the resistance and the evidence is you," he added.He went on further and said:
"Whoever has a key or documents, hold onto them because you're coming back. You are returning"
ZIONISM
"We have one enemy, the Israeli occupation that displaced our people in 1948 and occupied Jerusalem in 1967,"
The Bishop said Christian Zionism justifications are "satanic" and "racist". Many Orthodox Jews also reject Zionism as against Judaism and God.
UNITY
"My presence with Sheikh Taiseer is a focus on our unity," said Bishop Atallah. "Our religions can never divide us. We are proud of both Christians and Muslims." something which was also echoed by Sheikh Taiseer.
The land of Palestine/ Israel is Holy to Jews, Muslims and Christians due to its connections to the Prophets. Over 1,000 Palestinians attended this convention alongside people like Richard Becker supporting the right of return.

The right of return, to me, implies the return of the beings superior to us. Those graceful individuals who refuse to return to us until the collective mind of mankind can relinquish his hostile ways and fully advocate the support for peace that would have already occurred, were it not for the segregated religious beliefs that serve to divide us...
Collect all your prophesies, put them in a basket, and stir them thoroughly...when you pour them out onto a level playing field, they all point to the same thing. That we are all the children of a loving race of superior beings...Call that God, call it the Father, call it Allah, or call it what you will...
We can change the concept, but we can't change them...we can only change ourselves...
Killing the resistance is no longer an option, regardless of the pronouncements of days gone by...that sort of crude policy centers around the concept of blind faith...now is the time to focus on the non-violent education of the children and the masses...in this manner, Peace will prevail...
