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.

True, but they would be if enough people get vocal about it. (Elected officials like to keep their jobs.)

even if it is in a country that we can successfully pressure to do something about it.

If we can make our elected officials interested enough, they may not be able to force the other nation to do what we want, but they can at least make it less comfortable for them not to.
