Christians are being murdered all over the Middle East

You heard it! Christians are being murdered all over the Middle East!





But what really bothers Philip Weiss is that some Palestinian Christians can't get into Jerusalem.






On Easter, spare a moment to think about the Christians in Jesus’s birthplace

As worshipers and tourists from all over the world come to Jerusalem this Easter, spare a few moments to think about those Christians who will not be allowed to make the short journey from Bethlehem.This year’s Easter celebrations will highlight, as they do every year, the effect Israel’s occupation regime has on Palestinian religious freedoms. A Christian tourist from the United States, Russia or Japan will have a better chance of spending Easter in Jerusalem than a Palestinian Christian from Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus.

  1. Here's a blast from one of Philip's favorites, Walid:

    "Lightbringer, those links you provided about mass killings of Christians by groupies of a few Muslims was a lame attempt on your part because these have nothing to do with Muslims killing Christians in Palestine.

    There is no doubt the Christians were persecuted by Muslims in Palestine but this was done by fanatical Muslims that took their lead from Israeli Jews."

    Another Arabs killing Arabs story with the Jews being blamed. No antisemitism there!
