A high-ranking Israeli official on Sunday slammed a statement from Catholic bishops, who called for international organizations to lead the cause of Palestinian statehood.
Greek-Melchite Archbishop Cyrille Bustros sparked an interreligious firestorm when he suggested that Israel was “using Scripture” to continue its occupation of Palestinian territory.
"The Holy Scriptures cannot be used to justify the return of Jews to Israel and the displacement of the Palestinians,” Bustros said at the close of a two-week conference in Rome, Italy, “to justify the occupation by Israel of Palestinian lands.”
The Archbishop then questioned the biblical idea of a “promised land” set aside by a specific group of people.
"We Christians cannot speak of the promised land as an exclusive right for a privileged Jewish people,” Bustros continued. "This promise was nullified by Christ. There is no longer a chosen people – all men and women of all countries have become the chosen people."MORE HERE

A hidden meaning of the word "Holy" is that it has a hole or holes in it or is made of a hole/holes, analogous to bone - bony, stone - stony, wood- woody, water - watery, sand - sandy, trick - tricky, etc...
English is a code language full of hidden meanings.
Holy Bible, well...

The idea that of countless number of worlds in the universe the creator of all selected this planet dominated by a species that deceives, despises, tortures and kills its own members - is plain ridiculous. That kind of entity could be a representation of evil only. Who is then the G-d that chose a puny warrior tribe in the middle east as his chosen people?

"What? Those are all lies made up by anti-Semitic Jew Haters to delegitimize us. We are just poor helpless perpetual victims, In our time we have been kicked out of over one hundred countries (don't ask why) and are under constant attack by the vast army, air force and navy of the Palestinian nation. We need your help now, we need your latest weapons for free, and huge amount's of money so what are you waiting for? send it NOW. Don't forget the Holocaust!!
