For everyone that loves a Twitter reposts, here’s one that quietly reminds us of the absurdity of ignoring the obvious. LOL.
I don't know how you can argue Islam is evil when you defend a group of people calling themselves the 'chosen people' doin this kind of crap.

I think you've been brainwashed to hate Muslims.
That's quite apparent in your posts.

You don't come off as much different than this.

Show me 1 of my posts that prove I hate Muslims. You can't. Saying that Muslim values aren't aligned with western values is not a hateful statement.

Now you on the other hand have displayed full on hatred of Israel and the Jewish state.

Judeo-Christian values, what a fallacy and a joke! Epitome of ignorance and willful blindness.

No such thing exists, no compatibility between Judaism and Christianity post old testament. Double check those values and return here with sense. No more excuses for such level of ignorance...if you can type here, you can do some research on the internet 😉
A fallacy? My God you cannot be that ignorant. Guess what. Jews have been existing en masse in western countries long before Muslims have. They assimilated into the culture because they helped build said culture. Muslims didn't and many have a difficult time assimilating because they aren't aligned with our culture and values. That is a straight up fact.

Frank, I don't see where Bethlehem being 80% Christian under Israeli control, and now less than 10% Christian since being under the Palestinian Authority control, supports any of your positions.

To me that suggests that under Israeli control the Christians felt welcome, but unwelcome under Islamic control.

I got to visit Bethlehem on my first trip to Israel in 1970, and a second time in 1980. The Church of the Nativity was the highlight, especially as in 1970 it was at Christmas time.

On both trips we got to also visit Nablus and Hebron.

‘Did Palestinian Christians tell you that? Or is this just your brainwashed need to churn everything through that sad sack Zio Hasbara filter.

It took me less than 30 seconds to find Palestinian Christian voices

“In 2006, a Zogby poll that interviewed more than 1,000 Palestinian Christians from Bethlehem found that 79% of the respondents cited the Israeli occupation as source of difficulties leading the emigration of their community.[113] In the same year, the Palestinian Centre for Research and Cultural Dialogue conducted a poll among the city's Christians according to which 90% said they had had Muslim friends, 73.3% agreed that the PNA treated Christian heritage in the city with respect and 78% attributed the exodus of Christians to the Israeli blockade.[114]

The occupation is a crime against humanity and must end. Those responsible need to brought before justice.

From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free.

"Justice" is defined and meted out by the most powerful and exploitative.
The weak and disenfranchised are left to their own devices.

First, thanks for noting that my hatred is towards the state of Israel and not the Jewish people.
Second, your comment about Muslims and western values is a variation on comments about savages and civilization. Its you tarnishing an entire people and religion based on your views of them.

Its easy to show, tell us which 'Muslim values' you are specifically saying aren't aligned with western values.

Did you see the video that squeezer posted? It showed Bethlehem as totally walled in with all access controlled through checkpoints.
That is the source of the oppression driving Christians out of Israel.

Oh gullible Frank. Ok let’s dig in a little.
That photo is of a crane doing construction. ! The assertion of mounting a machine gun on crane is absurd. How do you even do it. With duct tape. How would you aim it. How would you reload the magazines. This post is propoganda. Easily believed by haters. This came out of someone in Gaza, likely Hamas. They are masters of lies and misleading people because they know weak minds easily fall for this shit. What I don’t see you posting is the actual torture and massacres that hamas inflicts on its people. I’m talking setting people on fire , Beatings , firing squads , throwing people off roofs. I’m not exaggerating that. There lots of real posts exposing this on Twitter. Hamas is operating in the dark ages and the Palestinians are suffering for it. You ask a common man Palestinian in Gaza, who they prefer , They will tell you it’s Israel every day. People like you are straight up tools for antisemitism and propagating the expansion of socialism. Wake up!
UNICEF reported a kid shot by one of these cranes.

The irony...
Throwing around accusations of anti-Semitism to smear when in fact it only renders the word more meaningless.
Accusing for criticizing the foreign policy of a murderous state, for referencing a word, created by Jews, used by Jews, to denigrate non Jews.
It means zero now, less than zero, except for those who are totally self-absorbed. tone deaf supremacists.
You're preaching to the converted, or in this case, the chosen.

So many on this board and the left in general actually are either ignorant of history or simply willfully blind. Well it’s time for a quick lesson.
And free to fact check me with AI.
1) the Jewish people have been living continuously in Israel / Palestine for 4000 years (I may be off a couple of hundred). They lived under their own rule and then under Roman rule at the time of Jesus. The lands were known as Judea.
2) later the name Palestine came from the Romans. They named the land Phillistine after the Phillistine people who also lived in coastal communities along the eastern Med. The Phillistines were enemies of Rome. The phillistines were not muslims as Islam did not exist at the time. Only in 600 AD did arabs begin to live there after Muslim armies defeated the Byzantine empire driving them out of the regions. Jews however still maintained a presence in the area. The name phillistine however stuck, mainly because the Roman’s kept good records.
3) centuries later , When Britain emerged with their empire , they ruled the region. The name of the area evolved into Palestine. Jews lived they’re sing with arabs. Palestine was however not a country. It did not have its own government. It was controlled and governed under British mandate. The people known as the Palestinians are actually settlers from Jordan. Jordan is actually their homeland.
4) Jews after WW2 , seaked recognition of their ancestral homeland as a country so it can act as a safe haven for Jews following the holocaust. So the holocaust could never happen again to the Jewish people because they could defend themselves as an independent country.
5) in 1947, Britain gave up is mandate and Israeli was recognized as an independent state. Many arabs lived there and that was not a problem for the Jews. Jews were happy to share the country.
6) after Israel’s founding , The arabs counties around were inflamed by its new existence and started wars against Israel’s. Israel defeated every country that was started war against it.
7) since day 1 , The mere existence of a recognized state for the Jewish people is inflammatory to some arabs. Hence the modern movement of terrorism and propoganda with the ultimate goal of getting rid of the Jews from the area entirely. It’s not about a Palestinian state existing next door Israel. The slogan from the River to the Sea says it all !
8) since it’s founding, Israel has built a modern functioning country. Palestinians had tbe same chance but it chose to focus its energy on hate and violence instead of being productive.
9) Israel though harsh in moments, strives for peace and being free from threats of destruction. The strength of its people and military is built on a simple mission of securing its future from any threat.
Very poorly educated

So your source is the pro-Palestinian imeu.org.

Here is a copy and paste from "Israel Hayom", from March 2, 2025.

I wonder which one is more truthful? Is it the Israelis, or is it the Muslims, that are more accepting of Christian "infidels"? Three guesses and the first two don't count...

WHY ARE THERE NO CHRISTIANS IN BETHLEHEM?

About a week ago, the United Nations headquarters in Geneva screened the film Via Dolorosa, which tells the story of Christians in the Holy Land. During the screening, Father Ibrahim Faltas stated that many Christians have lost their faith and "fled the Christian areas of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Nazareth." While many blame Israel for this reality, the systematic oppression of Christians has, in fact, been carried out for decades by the Palestinian authorities in Judea and Samaria and in Gaza.

"Terrorist attacks against Christians, assaults on churches, cemeteries, and Christian properties in the Palestinian Authority... have become daily occurrences, and their severity clearly intensifies during Christian holidays," the Greek Orthodox Church recently declared.

Reports from Gaza describe attacks on Christians and Christian holy sites (including cemeteries) carried out by Hamas police. Legal scholar and researcher Justus Reid Weiner wrote in a July 2024 report for The Bitachonist: "Over the course of a decade, I interviewed dozens of Palestinian Christians who were victims of attacks. Many of those I interviewed were too frightened to tell their stories."

These are not isolated incidents of persecution but a systematic, institutionalized suppression, often initiated or backed by the Palestinian Authority and Hamas. In a December 2024 report by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, a Protestant pastor from the Palestinian Authority testified that the Palestinian police do not protect Christians.

In the report, Sanaa Razi Nashash from Beit Jala described how she went to the police to file a complaint against a Muslim man who assaulted her—only to find the assailant wearing a police uniform. Christians who manage to reach local courts rarely receive justice, while the perpetrators are left unpunished.

In 2003, the Palestinian Authority closed the Ministry of Religious Affairs and announced its intention to impose Sharia law on all Palestinians. Under Sharia, Christians (like Jews) are granted the inferior status of dhimmi (protected persons), as they have not converted to Islam.

A dhimmi may pay a tax in exchange for protection from being killed or enslaved under Islamic law. In practice, however, the Palestinian authorities persecute the Christian population through systematic land confiscations via the Palestinian courts, extortion and seizure of Christian-owned businesses, and systematic discrimination against Christians in employment. Christians are excluded from leadership positions in the Palestinian Authority and face difficulties buying and selling land and property.

Bethlehem, long considered a Christian city, exemplifies these trends of demographic and cultural decline. According to the Christian Information Center, in 1950 Christians made up 86% of Bethlehem's population. Until the Oslo Accords, Bethlehem had the largest Christian majority of any city in the area, but since the Palestinian Authority assumed control in 1994, the Christian population has steadily decreased.

A 2017 census revealed that only 10% of Bethlehem's residents were Christians. Meanwhile, Hamas has increasingly intervened in city leadership, with its members occupying most seats on the city council - contrary to Palestinian law.

In Gaza, the situation is even worse. Since Hamas took over the Gaza Strip in 2007, the Christian population has shrunk from 5,000 to approximately 600 today. Testimonies from Palestinian Christians in Gaza, collected by Christian organizations, describe a constant threat to their lives.

Some have reported practicing their faith in secret - and some even grow beards to blend in with the Muslim population, following reports of kidnappings and forced conversions to Islam. In 2016, Gaza Bishop Alexios submitted a petition on the matter to Ismail Haniyeh on behalf of the Christian community, but received no response.

The situation is particularly dire for women and girls, who suffer from sexual assaults and rape. In a rare 2002 interview, Inas Jaris Hanna Musleh, a 23-year-old Palestinian Christian teacher at the Joy School in Beit Sahur, said that public harassment began with the rise of the Palestinian Authority.

Christian women in the Palestinian Authority and Gaza have also reported receiving death threats from Muslims who oppose their presence in public spaces. In 2004, a 16-year-old Christian girl was kidnapped from Bethlehem by a Muslim man whose relatives hold senior positions in the Palestinian Authority's security services. In 2020, a Christian girl was kidnapped, and in 2023, a 22-year-old woman was abducted. Both were kidnapped by Muslims, subjected to physical, sexual, and psychological violence, and were only released following international intervention.

The Western world prefers to turn the other cheek.

I find this problem quite often talking with zionists. While I really do honestly appreciate that we can dialog one issue that repeatedly comes up is that most zionists, more so than most Jews, won't accept non-Jewish or non-Israeli sources. I've tried with the sources that should be most unbiased, like Amnesty or HRW. Or international sources like UN, ICC or ICJ reports. Even MSF, UNICEF or WFP aren't accepted. Even going to the Israeli B'tselem isn't good enough. But yes, if I post an Arabic or Muslim source I know that won't be considered at all, its all part of the problem. And really, you should question why you won't consider the views of the Arab world and what that says about your own views.

But Israel Hayom?

Israel Hayom (Hebrew: יִשְׂרָאֵל הַיּוֹם, lit. 'Israel Today') is an Israeli Hebrew-language free daily newspaper. Distributed for free around Israel,[6] it is the country's most widely distributed newspaper.[7][2] Owned by the family of Sheldon Adelson, the casino mogul and political donor, Israel Hayom has been noted for its right-wing editorial stance and coverage of Israeli politics, often sparking debate about its political alignment.

Given all that, I'll post a link to a Haaretz article. Though I expect you'll say its 'leftist' or 'fake news' or something.
