The Christian religion is not confined to a piece of ground or place on a map.

Agreed. But what is being told about in this article is persecution and oppression of Christians. We should be pressuring our government to speak out about that (at the very least).

From my post #18; The thing that bothers me about this happening in Israel, is that the United States government could pressure Israel to take back these areas if the United States government cared about Christians in the Holy Land

The US Government is not concerned about protecting the lives of Christians, even if it is in a country that we can successfully pressure to do something about it.
