Don't believe this article. It's dripping with bias, such as: "(Israel has made claims that the hospital attack was a misfired Palestinian rocket, but this claim has not been confirmed either way according to major world media outlets.)"
Anyone with their head buried this deep in the sand is in no position to tell anyone anything.

The Arab Christians in Palestinian areas HATE Israel,
Such are false brethren, it is impossible to be a true Christian and hate Israel.

The Koran says that Jesus is the Messiah, but not the son of Allah.

To be a Christian, even an “ethnic Christian” in a land ruled by Muslim radicals is to live on the edge of a razor. No doubt some succumb to Stockholm Syndrome and those who don’t keep a very low profile.

Yep, this is precisely the attitude of actual historical chrstianity as opposed to imaginary ancient Protestant churches where people carried their bibles to church to make sure Paul didn't misread something.
When actual chrstian history is rejected something else (Biblical Israel) expands to fill the vacuum. And a good thing too!

I remember Ted Cruz gave a speech to a Christian Arab-American group. When he spoke up for Israel they started booing and shouting him down. He stood for a couple of minutes and took it, and then told them “if you will not stand with Israel I will not stand with you”. And left the stage.
That was disappointing. But spoke volumes about Arab Christians, who despite being persecuted by Muslims will still stand with them when they persecute Jews.

If the Muhammadans were self-policing, this wouldn’t be happening.
They’re virtually all in favor of exterminating the Jews, but many who are will try to convince the English-speaking press that they aren’t. But what you’ll never see them doing is speaking out against them in the Arab press, or, heaven forbid, taking active measures to make their brethren act like civilized human beings.
To: SaveFerris
We could always pray that they will and do. How about having some faith in God to work miracles?

The Talmud says otherwise.
And the majority of those who call themselves Jews buy into the Talmud’s blasphemous characterization of Christ.

In which case they are false brethren and not genuine Christians.

A few may convert but not most
Those who survive to the middle of the Tribulaton could see more than a few
Beware: the False Prophet will “unite” Christianity, Islam and Judaism
This is something I’ve known for at least 25 years.
This is also, in fact, the basis for the Abraham Accords.
Which means I’m watching it happen. Fox News keeps mentioning the “Abraham Accords” because they think it’s a good thing. It is not.
Which sounds nice but is based on error and is setting the world 🌎🌍 up for the Antichrist and the False Prophet.
The world 🌎🌍 is on very dangerous ground right now and doesn’t even know it.
I am very wary of “unity” events in these Last Days.
I’m OK being in the minority on that.
Very few will understand what I’m saying right now. I already expected that.
3-1/2 years into the 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’ it will be crystal clear.
To the Tribulaton Saints.

Has it ever occurred to you that these Arab Christians may have specific gripes with the state of Israel that are separate from the historical antipathy between Jews , Muslims, and Christians?
The state of Israel (despite its pretensions) does not represent Jewry as a whole, and it’s a mistake to do otherwise.

That’s why Israel are the Dry Bones of Ezekiel 37 right now.
Ezekiel 36 sees their rebirth.
Things will change dramatically when Ezekiel 38 happens.
Which may be very soon.

False premise, proven by Arab Israelis who do not want to give up their citizenship for that of neighboring Muslim countries and doubly proven by those Arab Evangelical Christians who have escaped the tyranny of those countries. Of course, they and their families have suffered terribly under the Moslems; pity the attractive young women.
The state of Israel (despite its pretensions) does not represent Jewry as a whole, and it’s a mistake to do otherwise.
Actually it does, because of global antisemitism. Just as in the Holocaust of the 20th Century, Jews thought they could assimilate and be safe citizens in many other countries. Yet those countries turned against them, and even in those countries we deem safe now, an evil spirit has arisen as is evident in the news and even in these threads on FR.
Every soul will be tested, and then the end will come with the Glorious Messiah and all the Gentiles who hate Israel shall perish, even as Balaam and Haman perished.
Esther 6:13
And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
Zechariah 12:1-10
The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

The Muslims need Jesus and so do the Jews in Israel. No, m'dear, the Jews in Israel do NOT need JC. We have our own G-d, and He doesn't need a sidekick.
