The majority (roughly 75-77%) of Christians in Israel are Arab, with major centers in Nazareth and Jerusalem where Jesus Christ walked.

Freedom of Christian Worship is allowed since Israel is dependent on US tax dollars provided by Christian taxpayers.

Challenges are many: some church leaders have expressed concern regarding actions by extremist Israeli groups. Land-grabbing settlers in particular want Christians out of Israel to take the land for themselves and other Jews.

The Palestinians (including Palestinian Christians) are not Arabs. True, they are often called Arabs because they speak Arabic (an artifact of being conquered by Arabic speaking Muslims). But they, like the Jews, are actually a Levantine people descended from Hebrews, Samaritans, etc. The genetics don’t lie (and please note the article at the first link was written by an Israeli Jew):

People confuse ethnicity/bloodlines with the various empires that have ruled over them. See:

You can find reports of Israeli settler attacks on Christians if you look:

Just do an internet search on “Christians west bank” (without the quotation marks).

I know Tucker is hated here by the Israel Firsters, but his interview of a Baptist pastor from the West Bank is quite good and I highly recommend it. This man is a sincere Christian and inspiring. He’s worth listening to, whatever you may think of Tucker:

No, freedom of worship is allowed because Israel is a WESTRN COUNTRY THAT SUPPORTS FREEDOM.
