I think it’s a bit insincere to blame settlements for the exodus of christians when pervasive Islamism is the real answer.

I think that this sentence is not consistent with reality.

Lebanon has to get its house in order. They have become a puppet of Syria and there is very little tolerance for anyone who doesn’t tow the line.

Puppet of Syria? Are you sure you’re following the news?

Maybe cause settlements are cutting into Bethlehem now.

I think Pals of all colors despise the Israelis because there is an inherent antisemitism that has tainted most arab thinking which trumps everything including the friction between christians and muslims.

Yet a large majority of Palestinian Christians despise the Israeli occupation more than their fellow Muslim countrymen.

Ya know, the SLA was half Muslim and Amal have killed a lot of Palestinians in the civil war as well, and also half of Leb’s Christian population demonstrated with the opposition a while back. Sorry it’s just a pet peeve of mine, there’s much more overwhelming support (like 80%+) for the right in Lebanon among the sunnah and the druze, yet they are never equated with the far right the way Christians are.

Since you’re slow, Gay-rut is a tongue in cheek reference to Beirut.

Your divide and conquer bullshit aint gonna work. Go back to “Gayrut” so you can have your fascist Maronite buddies kiss your ass the minute you set foot there.

Not sure what you mean by “gayrut”, but evidently you know how to spew the bu11sh1t so why not just climb back into the excrement-filled swamp you came from?…if you have a lucid point to make then borrow someone’s brain and try to think of one because you’re certainly pushing hard enough but it’s all coming out of your a55.

In particular, you must be concerned by how Christians are treated in Bethlehem by Muslims and how that town’s Christian population has been destroyed by those who hate difference.

Josh, you really have to be joking about Gaza having enough space.

I think gaza has enough space for the current Pal. population. I think all the countries that have Pal. refugee camps, i.e. Jordan, Syria and Lebanon should allow Pals to have full citizenship and be apart of society.

Despite the oil-trillions, despite the supposed “commitment” of twenty-two Arab states the fact is that none of the Arab states have ever really cared about the Pals. beyond lip service. This is proven by the Arab determination to keep the Pals. languishing in refugee camps.
