The Muslim Fatah-controlled authority in Judea and Samaria is encouraging a "sharp demographic shift" in Bethlehem, where the Christian population went from a 60 percent majority in 1990 to a 40 percent minority in 2000, to about 15 percent of the city's total population today.
It is estimated that, for the past seven years, more than one thousand Christians have been emigrating from the Bethlehem area annually and that only 10,000 to 13,000 Christians remain in the city. International human rights lawyer Justus Reid Weiner, who teaches at Hebrew University, told the Jerusalem Institute for Global Jewish Affairs that, under the PA-Fatah regime, Christian Arabs have been victims of frequent human rights abuses by Muslims.

This is what "dhimmitude" is all about! No wonder Sarah decided to skip Bethlehem - it's too dangerous to be a Christian there!

Hard to keep up with our dynamic language.
OUT: ethnic cleansing
IN: “sharp demographic shift”.

Cleansing lands they consider their's while demanding tolerance & inclusion in lands belonging to others.
And here we have left wing judges evoking sharia law in cases.
This won't end well.

How is that possible when all we hear from the left is that these people are tolerant and a religion of peace. /s/

Let’s invite these poor Christian Arabs to the US where we can further our multiculturalism and community diversity.

Only if its a “protected group” doing the ethnic cleansing.
If Christians or Jews tried to push Muzzies out of Bethlehem, you can rest assured it would be “ethnic cleansing” and not a “sharp demographic shift.”
