Middle Eastern Christians have hated Jews since the Crucifixion. When Christians fell under the Muslim yoke, they found partners in their Jew hatred that gave them a degree of protection. In 1948, under the banner of "Arab nationalism", they plotted the destruction of the new nation of Israel with their fellow Arabs. When Israel turn out to be much stronger than expected, the Christians became bitter and their Jew hatred amplified.
This goes back two thousand years. The Jews have never oppressed anyone since the construction of the Second Temple. Yet we are supposed to give a pass to anti Jewish anti-Israel sentiment because Israel turned out to be much more successful than expected?
Unfortunately, Middle Eastern Christians are getting much as they deserve from the Arab majorities. What did they expect from the Muslims? Had they ever read the Koran? If I grew up there, I would have considered the Koran fundamental opposition research. They could have left, as the Jews did. Instead, they elected to stay, marinating their souls in ancient animosities until the Muslims finally came for them as well. It took two thousand years, but reality eventually struck.
Middle East Christians, and I am a Christian, can expect our support and protection when they drag their ethics out of the first Century.
p.s. Baptist Fundamentalism is no more relevant to Middle Eastern Christian attitudes than the 1948 Arab-Israeli War or the Seven Day War.
Great and accurate post!!
