They bought into that whole Arafatian “Jesus was a palestinian” crapstorm. The PA’s official maps and children’s textbooks treat Israel as nonexistent — and show the kleptocratic “palestinian” state stretching all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. The PLO Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. The palestinian violence is fueled by Islamic doctrine. The Koran calls for “eviction by the sword” of any non-Moslem entity holding sovereignty over land in the Arabian Peninsula. In other words, annihilation of the Jews is an Islamic religious obligation, hence the term jihad– “holy war.’ Even if one is a palestinian Christian he/she is indoctrinated early on to hate Jews simply out of a psuedo-national commitment to identify politically with palestinian Muslims. It is simply the palestinian rejection of Israel’s right to exist and not Israeli policies that are the cause of the palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The few Christians left in the Palestinian territories tend to be more anti-Israel than the majority who left or fled, still only three Holy Land clergymen known for their Palestinian nationalism signed a letter criticizing Israel, and they were denounced by many clergy who did not sign. Christians Flee Growing Islamic Fundamentalism in the Holy Land Novak also refers to Sellers as "coordinator of Jerusalem's Christian churches." Actually, there are at least 16 traditional, Oriental, and Protestant churches represented in Jerusalem, yet only three other clergymen signed the letter with Sellers - and all three are known for their close loyalty to Arafat's Palestinian nationalism.

Bat Ye’or calls it dhimmitude.

From what I’ve read Palestinian Arab Christians are taking refuge, ironically, in Israel to escape Muslim persecution. I don’t suppose that changes their opinions any. It may well be that in the near future the only country in the Middle East where Christians can live without fear of persecution will be the Jewish state.

I would not lift a finger to help the Christians in the West Bank – most of whom are virulently anti Israel (due to a form of Stockholm Syndrome).

The Greek Orthodox Church presence there is just a bunch of not-yet-converted Muslims.

Same dresses. Same extravagance on the place of worship they shove their huddled masses into.

I guess we’ll find out if it burns the same, too.

He forgot about the spider eggs in bubblegum which are apparently aphrodisiacs.

Also Israel is responsible for making people think the Palestinian Authority is full of bigoted loons.

Yea, its a shame they do not keep track of what is happening to the Chaldean Christians in Iraq.

The power of propanganda is truly amazing. George Orwell is right and his book, 1984, is a manual on how it is done.

I wish there was a soluble way to combat Information-War and yet still have an education system and media that is still free and unhampered by the government.

This is the Achilles Heal of the Free World and the Totalitarian Governments and Tin-pot Dictators all know this fact.
