Excellent enlighting article Abe,

Peace,

You've conveniently ignored the real issue here, namely your Palestinian Muslim "brothers." It is they who want you gone, not the Israelis or the Americans. Your numbers are stable in Israel but collapsing in the occupied territories and the rest of the Arab world. Arab Christians are made to feel unwelcome, or worse, in the Muslim countries of the Middle East. But don't just take my word for it, see http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=2&x_outlet=35&x_article=829

Abe, I find your piece puzzling in the extreme. You correctly draw attention to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Christians but with no mention of who or what's behind it: the relentless expansion since 1948 of political Zionism with its goal of a Greater Israel and consequent dispossession of indigenous Palestinians, both Christian and Muslim. In an age of spin, is it not time to call a spade a spade?

Kick all religion to the curb and live in peace.

Strewth, "Political Zionism" does not have a goal of a greater Israel. It is the Arab world that refuses to regonise Israel's right to exist and wants to destroy it, not the other way around.

And why don't you call your spade a spade instead of cowardly hiding behind your spin?

I don't have to take your word for anything. CAMERA is a Zionist organisation (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America) which claims to present the truth on the Middle East - not that they'd be biased in anyway, but somehow all their reports are pro-Israel - who'da thunk that?

Truth is Zionists (as opposed to Jews) are keen on ridding Israel of both Christians AND Muslims.
