yes they are also persecuted by the Israeli zionist
Abbas (the leader of Palestine ) is one of the handful of Palestinian Christians that could be described as Evangelical, belonging to a group that appears to be distantly related to the Plymouth Brethren. Cherishing the role of devil’s advocate, I had to ask him, “Is the State of Israel not in fact the fulfillment of God’s promise and a necessary step in the second coming of Christ?” Abbas looked at me briefly and laughed. “You’re kidding, right? You know what they do to our people and our land. If I thought that was part of God’s plan, I’d be an atheist in a second.”
Christian Palestinians and Muslim Palestinians For them, the conflict with Israel is quite obviously not about Islamism contra enlightenment but simply about resistance against occupation. To be sure, there have been periods of tension between the Christian communities and members of the Islamist groups, yet to many Christian Palestinians the Islamist movements have emerged by default as the heroes in the conflict with Israel. Following the incremental atrophy of leftist ideals, the Islamists are seen as the only ones who are willing and able to fight the occupation.

I think your premise is a bit skewed to the irrational. The churches have very little affect on what the Israeli government does. While that government may welcome the support of the Christian churches, I am sure that they do not set the policies of the government of Israel.
Many Arabs live in Israel, be they Chrisitan or not, in peace with their neighbors, and the government. Why, because they obey the laws of the land.
The Palestinian issue goes back to the 1948 war that was brought on when the U.N. divided Palestine. The Arabs were against it, and vowed to drive Israel into the sea. They told the Arab people to get out, promising them that they would have their homes back, and more, after their armies drove fledgling Israel into the sea, and cancelled the U.N. mandate. It didn't work out that way, and those who left, lost everything. I'd say that they were both foolish, and that this is the spoils of war. They should have stayed at home. Not only do those governments that told them to leave want nothing to do with them now, but have not the honesty to admit to what they did in telling these people to get out. While everyone foolishly blames Israel, or the churches for the plight of these people, it is their own fault. To make a simplistic illustration, if you place your hand, palm down on a red hot heating element, is it the fault of the company that made the appliance, or the power company? Based on your views, yes, it has to be. But who put their hand on the hot element? The churches have zip to do with what is going on in Israel, and your premise is invalid. It is, however, very right to support Israel because the Bible, in Genesis, does say that those who bless Abraham will be blessed, and those who curse Abraham will be cursed. These promises carry over to Israel because from the lineage of Abraham came Israel. If you want to incur God's wrath against you, have at it, it's your life. Just do yourself a favor and know what you really are talking about before talking about it. Israel, by the way, is not a Christian nation, and there is a mixture of those who believe in God, and those who do not. The promises, however, still stand.

All Palestinians are persecuted bu the Zionist State, be them Muslim or Christian.
Before, all, including Arab Jews, not the ones 'imported' from all the world believing in the myth of "a land without a people for a people without a land", all lived in a kind of harmony.
As evidence of suffering there, Zionist barbarian troops entered the Nativity Church in Betlehem about 3 years ago by force, chasing a group[ of young palestinians who took shelter there. This is a simple example! They do not respect a place of worship, whether it is a church or a mosque.

previous to 1950 there became no damage down of Ethnic communities in censuses in the middle East. And it became merely measured in 1950 because the British Mandate that had inherited the areas of Iraq, Jordon and Palestine from the Turkish became coming to an end with those countries growing to be autonomous / British taking flight. it really is authentic that for the time of 1948 on my own it really is predicted fifty 3% of peoples residing in the Palestinian Protectorate were expelled from their residences to make way for the Jewish state. Of the individuals residing in the element that grew to grow to be Israel very almost ninety% of them were expelled. This evacuation is a higher percentage of folk than the 80 5% of folk forced to evacuate Phnom-Pen in 1975 by technique of the Khmer Rouge regime. Such clearing (or cleansing) of the peoples residing in Palestine will be seen to have Genocidal reason. it ought to have an same effect as requiring all and sundry of Irish and/or Polish households residing in cities between Boston and Washington DC to go away their residences and stay elsewhere. no longer merely ought to all those human beings no longer stay there, notwithstanding the heritage they shaped in the section turns right into a void, and places and activities may even loose their magnitude or be forgotten very right now. yet another difficulty nonetheless, in 1917 Palestine and Jerusalem became invaded by technique of Entente Forces and the area were recruited from heavily to help significant capacity forces. this is a reason the inhabitants became so low, using hostilities and fact most of the inhabitants became battling a touch war properly-called international war a million.
