No need for name calling. I did not say that. I quoted the linked article. You cherry picked the little bit that suits your beliefs while ignoring all that goes against your cherished beliefs. Well, that’s human nature. Cognitive dissonance is uncomfortable.
Yes, Christians have left Gaza (what’s left of it) because of the bombing and destruction rained down on it since Oct. 7. But that’s just a small piece of the overall picture. (And not that many Christians lived in Gaza compared to the West Bank in the first place.)
Christians have been fleeing the West Bank (where most Christians lived) in droves because of Jewish settler violence and shocking ill treatment from IDF and Israeli authorities. They are not leaving the West Bank because it’s “expensive”. While they may have encountered problems with “Arab extremists” in Gaza,the primary reason they leave is settler violence and ill treatment by IDF and Israeli authorities.
Maybe you should read the article again. And see also my #7 on this thread:

Watch the video I linked there. A Baptist pastor from the West Bank tells what life is like in the West Bank for Christians. He’s a very devout Christian and I found him quite inspiring.
“Christians have been fleeing the West Bank (where most Christians lived) in droves because of Jewish settler violence and shocking ill treatment from IDF and Israeli authorities.”
They are leaving because THEY ARE UNDER THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY and subject to abuse from MUSLIMS! Many of them move...TO ISRAEL!
Good grief. Bethlehem went from 80+% Christian down to 10%, and it wasn’t because JEWS were abusing them! There are no Jews in Bethlehem!
