Fantastic. This is a big deal. Lots of Israelis are Christian Arabs, and they were worse than Muslim Arabs in some ways (see Sirhan Sirhan for example). They’ve come around in the last 20 years and are among our best citizens.

Wonder if that extends to Israel's right to have their capital in Jerusalem? That would represent a significant policy change.

Before Israel was founded the Christians among the Palestinian Arabs numbered 15%..even a bit more if IIRC. George Habash and other Christians were big in the PLO and other liberation fronts.
With the 1948 war and founding of Israel the Christian Palestinians had the same anger and grievances the Muslim ones did. So of course they were anti-Israel and anti-Semitic like the Muslims

This percentage is down to what? 5% or less these days due to explosive Muslim birthrates and Christian Palestinians immigrating to Europe and America. Same as what happened in Lebanon which was heavily Christian until 30 years ago.

Islamic crap and cruelty has rubbed off on other Christians too. Such as Spain where it is speculated that the cruelty of the Conquistadors was something they got from the Muslim occupiers of Spain.
