The Syriac Catholic archbishop of Mosul said that Iraqi Christians
wish to live in harmony with others throughout the country and do not
wish to be confined to a “humanitarian corridor” set aside for
Christians.According to Bishop Oscar Cantú — the chairman of the US bishops’ Committee on International Justice and Peace — Archbishop Youhanna Moshe said that “we don’t want to live in a ghetto. That is counterproductive. That makes us a target for our enemies … We need an integrated reality, rather than a ‘Gaza’ where there’s a wall and someone is guarding people going in and out.”
