Approximately 184,000 to 185,000 Christians live throughout Israel and the occupied territories, making up about 1.9% of the country's population. The majority are Arab Christians, who constitute around 75.8% of the Christian population in Israel.

"The late Pope Francis called the Holy Family Church in Gaza City almost every day in 2024 to check on the Catholic community there amid the difficult conditions caused by Israel's vicious pogrom the Palestinian people. This daily call became a regular ritual for him, showing his close connection and concern for the people in Gaza."

It follows a fascist pattern. The range of tolerance only gets narrower.

MAGA has been dying to class Mormons and Catholics, certainly the Quakers and likely the damned Unitarians, as being non-Christian.

Give them the power, and the persecutions will begin, along the lines of what they want for the Muslims.

Or is it attacks against Palestinians who happen to be Christians... and who would have been attacked by Rwing Settler types no matter their religion or lack thereof?

Authoritarianism and it's terror tactics are arising around the world... and here in America is no exception.

Currently we seem to be in the mostly economic and freedom terror stage, with more stages to come.

Hi Corky:

The report indicates religious intolerance against Christians in Israel is increasing, like this blatant blasphemy: IDF and Israeli Police Are the Worst

Maybe someone should forward those reports to Amb Schmuckabee.

JFC-- I thought the same thing.

Besides collecting a wonderful paycheck, bequeathed forever with the honorific "Ambassador," and gleefully overwatching ethnic cleansing, what else is Schmuckabee doing on our dime?

Hilarious ...

Because I bet you didn't know attacks against Christians are on the rise in Syria; while christian churches around the globe are on fire; and you are only worried about Christians in the middle of a war-zone because Isreal is associated with it.

So, Christian Amerikkka could be killing fellow Christians in Iran.

Last year, this poor Iranian wife collapsed on the ground in sheer panic when ICE abducted her husband.

Methinks they are Christians.

**** Jewish Terrorism by Illegal Israeli Settlers Goes Unchecked in Occupied West Bank ***

"Attacks by illegal Israeli settlers on unarmed, defenseless Palestinians are rising in scale and severity amid the Iran war, with critics citing government inaction and a deepening climate of impunity.

The recent surge has prompted criticism from influential rabbis and even military chief Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, who described the attacks as "morally and ethically unacceptable."

Their job is to tell him what he wants to hear. If they don't, he'll replace them with someone that will.

That's hilarious. You weren't Christian before you left.

So that means you came back to invent reasons to suck Trump's dlck at us.

That's dedication.
