Many people fail to realize that not all palestinians are muslim. A good number of them are arab christians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The holiest place, the Temple mount is out of bounds for Jewish prayers. These restrictions are there to stop religious clashes between ALL sides. Each Friday the Mosques incite hatred and violence. No country in the world would allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people fail to realize that not all palestinians are muslim. A good number of them are arab christians. I think most of us realise that there are Palestinian Christian Arabs, although many have now left Israel predominantly because of severe persecution from their Moslem counterparts. Some Palestinian Arab Christians are often fairly nominal in their faith and generally blend in with the Moslems, others have a hard time and are increasingly marginalized. The main Christian thoroughfare in the old city of Jerusalem 'Christian Quarter Road' purports to be full of Christian shops selling things for tourists but I know of only 5 that are run by Christians, many of the others are Moslems posing as Christians for economic reasons. Sure is a very left/pro-Pal site that you referenced...these sort of alternative narratives have one aim in my humble opinion, to appear reasonable and acceptable and garner world opinion against Israel through a constant flow of news reports that specifically present Israel in a bad light the whole time...it is part of concerted effort to demonize and denigrate Israel, and make the Palestinians seem saintly, innocent and unfairly descriminated against.....Unfortunately many Christians have bought into these stories which often focus on one aspect and are removed from a fair context (as my friend Hupo pointed out)...they are unaware that they are being manipulated by carefully controlled Islamic/Palestinian propaganda.
