Truth and justice is on the Christian side in Palestine, not on the colonizing Jew side. It is you that are a heathen and lost soul as far as Christianity is concerned.

Everyone knows that Christians are 10% or less of the Palestinians (especially lately, when they have left in droves). I suck at math but even I know that's a minority.
Please list some prominent Palestinian Christians.

You forgot some..
Palestinian Christian militants[edit]
- Sirhan Sirhan – assassin of United States Senator Robert F. Kennedy
- Chris Bandak – Palestinian Christian militant and a leader of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades and the Tanzim, both resistance wings of the Fatah movement, currently prisoned in Israel[85]
- Wadie Haddad;- was a Palestinian leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's armed wing. He was responsible for organizing several civilian airplane hijackings in support of the Palestinian cause in the 1960s and 1970s.
Along with the rest of the murderous bunch of yours there is also this part including you in it.
Persecutions[edit]
Christian families are the largest landowners in Bethlehem and have often been subject to theft of property. Multiple factors, the internal dislocation of Palestinians in wars; the creation of three contiguous refugee camps for those displaced; emigration from Hebron; hindrances to development under Israeli military occupation with its land confiscations, and a lax and corrupt judicial system under the PNA that is often incapable of enforcing laws, have all contributed to Christian emigration, which has been a tradition since the British Mandate period. Bethlehem's core of traditional Christian and Muslim families speak of the rise of a 'foreign', more conservative, Islamic Hebronite class as changing the traditional regional identity of the town, as are the villages dominated by the Ta'amre Bedouin clans close to Bethlehem. Rising Muslim land purchase, said at times to be Saudi-financed, and incidents of land theft with forged documents, except in Beit Sahour where Christian and Muslims share a strong sense of local identity, are seen by Christians as making their demographic presence vulnerable. Christians are often described as of Yamani descent (as are some Muslim clans), vs the al-Qaysi Muslim clans, respectively from southern and northern Arabia. Christians are wary of the international media and of discussing these issues publically, which involve criticism of fellow Palestinians, since there is a risk that their remarks may be manipulated by outsiders to undermine Palestinian claims to nationhood, distract attention from the crippling impact of Israel's occupation, and conjure up an image of a Muslim drive to oust Christians from Bethlehem.[75] Certain religious right-wing media outlets in Israel and the United States[who?] have claimed that Palestinian Christians suffer systematic discrimination and persecution at the hands of the predominantly Muslim population and government of Palestine aimed at driving their population out of their homeland.[76] This has been contested,[who?] as the main cause of Christian emigration from Bethlehem, Kairos Palestine—an independent coalition Christian organisation, set up to help communicate to the Christian world what is happening in Palestine—sent a letter to The Wall Street Journal to explain that "In the case of Bethlehem, for instance, it is in fact the rampant construction of Israeli settlements, the chokehold imposed by the separation wall and the Israeli government's confiscation of Palestinian land that has driven many Christians to leave," the letter unprinted letter, quoted in Haaretz, states. "At present, a mere 13 percent of Bethlehem-area land is left to its Palestinian inhabitants".[77]
Although there is a claim that Israel is the only country that Christian communities have been able to thrive in the Middle East, which is often demonstrated by the growing cooperation between the Israeli government and Christian leaders,[78] there has also been criticism to the claim that Israel is the only country that Christian communities have been able to thrive in the Middle East by Palestinian Christians, with such statements being called a "manipulation" of the facts.[79] Members of the Palestinian Christian community claim that such statements attempt to hide the discrimination that Palestinians face within Israel due to discriminatory laws as well as the effect of the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza on the Christian population in these areas.[80]

Christians have been active in attacking the colonizer/occupier. That's a fact. Sirhan-Sirhan was a Christian as well and did not appreciate the U.S. support of Israel against his people and assassinated a person I admired. Yitzhak Shamir assassinated or had assassinated Count Bernadotte of the UN.
Instead of quoting the endlessly edited wiki article how about listening to the Christians in Palestine.
""The Christians in the west, most of them, they don't know the realities here. They don't know who is occupying who, who is oppressing who, who is confiscating whose land, who is building walls to try and separate people from one another," Alex Awad, who also pastors East Jerusalem Church, told The Christian Post......"The Palestinian Christians in Gaza today, they suffer as much as the Palestinian Muslims in Gaza. They are under bombardment. They have only eight hours of electricity of every 24 hours. They have a hard time getting fresh water," he said. "The Palestinian Christians, they don't live in an isolated area where oh, this is a Christian town. No, they live among the Muslims in Gaza and therefore as much as the Muslims are suffering, the Christians are suffering, not only in the Gaza strip but also in the West Bank."

I have nothing against Hanan Ashrawi. It is you that are attempting to ridicule her, as you do with all non-Jews. It is an entertaining clown dance that you do.

This is sad. No peace loving person of any faith could support this persecution of Christians by Palestinians. Oh wait, I forgot. Israel made them do it. And if you don't believe me, just ask any of the Palestinian terrorist supporters.

You post from John Bolton's website? That's like the Zionist Stormfront.
Keep it up, you are making a name for yourself. LOL

So then, let me get this straight. All the articles posted here on Palestinian persecutions of Christians are just bullshit. Right?

Is it merely a coincidence that every report blaming the Muslims is from a source connected to Israel?
