Just look at how those Palestinians "following the teachings of Jesus Christ" have treated the Christians & still do in Israel today.
The Palestinians are Christians, 30 % of Palestinians worldwide are. Christian.

And again you just avoid the issue when it doesn't please you.

Hmmm.
"The Palestinian Christian : Betrayed, Persecuted, Sacrificed
by Abe W. Ata

"The Palestinian Christian is an endangered species.
When the modern state of Israel was established there were about 400,000 of us. Two years ago the number was down to 80,000. Now it’s down to 60,000. At that rate, in a few years there will be none of us left. When this happens non-Christian groups will move into our churches and claim them forever.
Palestinian Christians within Israel fare little better. On the face of it, their number has grown by 20,000 since 1991. But this is misleading, for the census classification "Christian" includes some 20,000 recent non-Arab migrants from the former Soviet Union.
So why are Palestinian Christians abandoning their homeland?
We have lost hope, that’s why. We are treated as non-people. Few outside the Middle East even know we exist, and those who do, conveniently forget.
I refer, of course, to the American Religious Right. They see modern Israel as a harbinger of the Second Coming, at which time Christians will go to paradise, and all others (presumably including Jews) to hell. To this end they lend military and moral support to Israel.
Even by the double-dealing standards of international diplomacy this is a breathtakingly cynical bargain. It is hard to know who is using whom more: the Christian Right for offering secular power in the expectation that the Jewish state will be destroyed by a greater spiritual one; or the Israeli Right for accepting their offer. What we do know is that both sides are abusing the Palestinians. Apparently we don’t enter into anyone’s calculations.
The views of the Israeli Right are well known: they want us gone."

So why are the Muslim Palestinians persecuting the Christians?

Because you use propaganda sites as your exclusive sources. Try using neutral information sites for once in your life.
I see. So, what in the article I presented is not true?
