Here are the facts with regard to the MP property takevoer of the
Hebron monastery.
In July 1997 when the MP, supported by the Palestinians, seized
control of the ROCOR’s monastery in Hebron, Israel, Archbishop
Mark was given control of the ROCOR’s commission to investigate
the matter.
Abp Mark promptly placed all the blame on Abbess Juliana of
the ROCOR’s Eleon monastery in Jerusalem, who had been the
Hebron monks’ main supporter and had refused to allow Patriarch
Alexis into her own monastery, and secured the expulsion of her
and all the ROCOR’s anti-Soviet clerics from the nation of Israel.
Abp Mark even compelled Metropolitan Vitaly to make a
humiliating apology to the Patriarch of Jerusalem and Yasser
Arafat.
It turned out that earlier in the year Archbishop Mark had had a
secret meeting with Patriarch Alexis II.
The Hebron newspaper "El Mascobbiyeh" reported that since
February, 1997 the monastery had secretly been transferred to the
MP through the head of the Russian ecclesiastical mission in
Jerusalem, Vasily Vasnev.
"I smell a rat in Abp Mark."

On another note, the Metropolitan Anthony Memorial Society
is moving ahead in contacting key political persons of
influence,informing of a security threat that the MP/ROCOR union
poses to American society.
