Answer 1

NewCatholic, you are an IDIOT! what do you mean all the Palestinians want to do is wipe Israel off the map?! there was no Israel! It wiped Palestine of the map... but i guess its OK for Jews to do that, and hatefull of Palestinians to fight for the land thats been stolen from them...

Answer 2

The fellow who said this is a little blind to history. After all how can you be an occupier (im taking the negitive meaning as u are) to a piece of land that is in your geneology for 1000's of years. It would be like calling the American indian an occupier if somehow there was magically a resurgence of them on US soil. And historically as well, the Jew was welcomed at first to this piece of land by the arabs. And the Arab's wealth was starting to increase as more Jews came home (so to speak) the arabs didnt get jumpy about things until there started to be too many jews at once. Then ut oh problem... too many jews. And the arab said lets kill them and scare them off.. so you and jordan and a couple other countries got together and started a war with the Jew. YOU LOST. and now you moan and complain about an unfriendly jewish state.. you lost that right when you took up arms against the Jew. So in order to have peace youve got to prove that you can handle yourselves maturelly and not fire off more rockets into Isreal. But you cant do it. can you? you hate too much. you continue to think that its somehow their fault instead of taking blame/ responsiblity upon yourselves as well. So continue to hate. Continue to fire rockets. continue to shift blame NOTHING WILL CHANGE that has been proven for the past 40 or so years... well **** historically speaking more like 100's if not 1000's of years

Answer 3

My father is a Christian Palestinian.

Answer 4

What you call "Zionist terrorism" is Israel retaliating for Palestinian mortars and kidnappings.

What many Palestinians want is Israel wiped off map and they are the ones that keep the pot stirred!

Peace!

Answer 5

Yes this is a copy/paste answer but here you go:

Aggregate figures on the number of Palestinian Christians today are estimates, due to the difficulty in collecting comprehensive information on the different Diaspora populations.

According to the census data collected by the Ottoman Empire, the Christian population in 1914 was 24% of what we could call today Israel/Palestine, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey; today it is no more than 5%. [1] In British Mandate Palestine, Christians made up as much as 20% of the population, though some put the figure at 13%.[1]

Today, the majority of Palestinian Christians live in the Diaspora. It is known that Palestinians make up between 40,000 and 90,000 people (1.1 to 2.4%) of the population of the Palestinian territories. Most are in the West Bank, though there is a community of 2,000 in the Gaza Strip. The related Arab Christians in Israel number between 144,000 and 196,000 (2.1 to 2.8%) of the total population,[2] and about 8.8% of the non-Jewish Arab population.[3]

The majority of Palestinian Christians belong to the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem, one of the 16 churches of Eastern Orthodoxy. There are also Maronites, Melkites, Jacobites, Roman Catholics, Syrian Catholics, Copts and Protestants among them. The Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theofilos III, is the leader of Palestinian Orthodox Christians (Greek Orthodox). The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Michel Sabah, is the leader of the Palestinian Roman Catholics. The Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem is Riah Abu Assal. The Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jerusalem and Jordan is Dr. Munib Younan. Elias Chacour of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church is Archbishop of Galilee.

Estimates of the number of Arab Christians vary. Christians today make up 9.2% of the population of the Near East. In Lebanon they now number around 39% of the population, in Syria about 10 to 15%. In Palestinian before the creation of Israel estimates range up to as much as 40%, but mass emigration has slashed the number still present to 3.8%. Israel Arab Christians constitute 2.1% (or roughly 10% of the Israeli Arab population). In Egypt, they constitute about 6% of the population. Around two-thirds of North and South American and Australian Arabs are Christian, particularly from Syria, the Palestinian territories, and Lebanon.

Most Palestinian Christians see themselves as Arab Christians, although some, echoing similar narratives in the Lebanese Maronite community, reject this label and claim to be descended from people who were present before the coming of the Arabs, or from Europeans who came to the region during the medieval Crusades. In reality, they are most likely a mixture of Armenians, Byzantine, pre-Islamic Arabs (Ghassanids), and Crusaders.[citation needed]The region called Palestine or Israel is considered the Holy Land by Christians, and major Christian holy cities like Bethlehem and Nazareth are located in the Palestinian Autonomy and Israel, respectively.
