About 1,000 Christian Arabs flee Arab-dominated areas because of Arab terrorism and harassment, according to Reuters News Agency. Examples were cited of Moslems beating up Christians, uprooting their olive trees and scrawling graffiti that show nuns being raped.
Hardest hit has been the Christian community of Bethlehem where tourism has declined since Arabs began the Oslo War attack against Israel. "If the situation continues, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Church of the Nativity will become cold, empty museums," said Samir Qumsieh, a Palestinian-Christian businessman.
They can come here. Their homeland is beyond salvation.
Guess God isn't strong enough to save them.
Nope, the vermin will defile the churches before torching them.
Not necessarily saying that. However, God's strength appears to be trumped by human free will, by His design.

The choice is ours:
This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live

Yup.
As for me and my family. We choose to serve God.
The next HUGE crisis will be when Israel kicks out the arabs from the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem; it will hit the fan big-time when that happens.
Time for the next crusade.
Geez, the moderator removed my post.
Reminds me of a time back in the day, in PA, when we were on an astronomy club outing, and one of our members, who was an astronomy professor at Kutztown State, and looked and acted the part, was expounding on the extant lunar apparition.
"Under the current nutation Mare Crisium has minimal visibility," he said. ( Something like that. ) I piped up from the crowd, "Well, I could have told you that!" and this was met by a dead silence.
Later, a friend of mine asked me why I said it. "It was a joke!" I explained. "Well, I don't think everybody has the same sense of humor that you do," he replied.
Something I'm still working on.
Thats really good.
"Religion of peace" and pigs fly ping!

I reallyyy hate that 'dead silence' bit.
The Christian Palestinians come to the USA and still complain about Israel.
