It’s amazing that this is more and more the norm throughout the world, America included to the detriment of Christians.

No offense, but that's mostly nonsense -- America protects the rights of Chirstians to practice the rituals of Christianity pretty much anywhere they want. Israel, conversely, restricts the rights of Jews to Jewish holy places (the Temple Mount, the Tomb of the Patriarchs, Joseph's Tomb) to avoid ticking off the Arabs.

It is not nonsense, and you don’t need to adopt the role of the lonely victim and sole reciepient of religious annimosity.
Christianity is much less acceptable in the public square than Judaism in America, especially if there is any sort of relationship to government. This is done more and more to avoid offending neoPagans and Muslims most recently and Athiests and Jews historically. To ignore this is not only nonsensicle but self serving and delusional.

I forgot to mention that I am in full agreement with you that it is completely insane than Israel denies herself religious practice for fear of offending her enemies.

We American Christians certainly don’t have restrictions even approaching the degree Jews in Israel experience.
