This Christmas, it seems, life is not so good at the Origin:
Israel cannot afford to lose the Palestinian Christians: They have long represented a moderating force. A century ago, they accounted for 25% or more of the Holy Land population. Today, they represent less than 1.5%. Since 2000, Bethlehem alone has lost 10% of its Christian population.
Palestinian Christians regard their ancestors as the first Christians, and no doubt some of them were. They call themselves the “living stones” of Biblical Christianity, preserving ancient communities and traditions in the midst of repeated armed conflicts. They deserve to keep their land and work for “peace on earth, goodwill toward men.”
In this crisis they deserve the support of all Americans, not just Christians. And not just at Christmas.
Not “biblical” enough for most fundies though.
