The website the article comes from is clearly pro-Hamas and anti-Semitic. Not a good source for posting on FR, in my opinion.

In this article, for example, the website equates the imprisonment of Hamas terrorists with the imprisonment of Jewish and Christian figures in the Bible. It is disgusting.

Sorry, let me add: In no way whatsoever do I question the good intentions behind this article being posted on FR.

The article you cite was written by Dr. Yohanna Katanacho, the Jerusalem-born Academic Dean of the Bethlehem Bible College. The author identifies himself as "a Palestinian Christian who is not for any form of violence whether it is state violence or terrorism." It is clearly labeled an opinion piece.

Do you think that publications which would publish such an opinion piece or a similar one, should be banned on FR? That would exclude all of the major media source in the United States, and most in the world. It would probably even ban a great many Israeli publications.

Or do you think that the article about endangered Christian schools, by a different author and on a different topic, should be excluded because they are somewhat adjacent to each other? Was it perhaps contaminated by proximity?

I disagree with your point of view.
