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:

My experience with Christian Palestinians in the ME and Haiti through the fairly famous mourra family and the various prominent families of that ME ethnicity in Mississippi like Davids and Maloufs and Saiks and Iupes and so on is that generally speaking they are for lack of a better distinguishing description
