quote from wikipedia on Nazareth....(i am too new here to post links!)Arab Christian population of Nazareth, Israel is reduced by over a half since 1948 due to vicious racist policies of Israel.
You're kvetching again, Kvetch. Could you provide a link to your "facts?"
Nazareth is the largest Arab city in Israel.[67] Until the beginning of the British Mandate in Palestine (1922–1948), the population was predominantly Arab Christian (majority Orthodox Christians), with an Arab Muslim minority. Nazareth today still has a significant Christian population, made up of Maronites, Orthodox Christians, Roman Catholic, Melkite Eastern Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists, Evangelicals and Copts, among others. The Muslim population has grown, for a number of historical factors, that include the city having served as administrative center under British rule, and the influx of internally displaced Palestinians absorbed into the city from neighbouring towns during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.[4]
In 2009, the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics reported that Nazareth's population was 69% Muslim and 30.9% Christian
I've read that Wiki article.
Nowhere does it blame "vicious racist policies of Israel" as you do and the exodus of Christians from Nazareth is consistent with that of Christians from "Muslim lands" all over the Mideast. In fact, the only Mideast country in which the Christian pop is growing is ... drum roll, please ... ISRAEL. I know you are new here but you will have to provide credible support for your venom or you are going to find yourself dumped into the troll pit. Have a nice night.
