Bethlehem is never Palestine. It was annexed and named West bank by Islamic fighters during the the Ottoman empire

Live and let's live. For those practising religion, no religion is superior to the other.


Stop all the nonsense about castigating any religion. All these "they are worshipping stone", they are worshipping human" are bullshits

Face your religion and leave others out of it.

After all the so called heavenly race is an individual race, so stick to it alone.
I don’t really like their ways of attacking each other too. I mean people that practice Abrahamic religion. Islam Christianity and Judaism. Abrahamic religion is full of violence. From Crusaders down to Jihadists

Merry CHRISTMAS to Everyone. As we celebrate, its Important to know and Understand the Person and Personality of the REASON FOR THE SEASON

JESUS was born a Jew, in the City of David - Bethlehem.
He was of the tribe of Judah, born in the region of Judea.
He was brought to the Temple according to Jewish law and custom.

At the Temple, old Simeon - who was waiting for the consolation of Israel - saw Him and declared:


Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace,
According to Your word;
For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,
A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,
And the glory of Your people Israel.”


JESUS taught in synagogues and was addressed by many as “Rabbi.”
And in His own testimony to the Samaritan woman, He declared:
“Salvation is of the Jews.”


So NO - JESUS was not a Muslim, not a Palestinian, and not a man who was accidentally killed.

The prophet Isaiah made it clear and unmistakable:

Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
 
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

 
All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”




So if you claim to Know and LOVE JESUS CHRIST, and you Hate His Brethern, you are Fake. You are Deceiving yourself. Its Definitely NOT JESUS CHRIST that you know.
Will you keep quiet !!!! You this enabler of genocide! Look at Christians who are not Jews and have suffered a lot in the hands of the Israel you carried on your head like gala , the funny thing is Israel doesn't recognise your religion nor jesus , but you carried them on your head , shows how ignorant you are as a believer, even jesus said his kingdom is not of this world, but you were here on this forum elevating a heathen country more than jesus . You are one of the goats jesus spoke about .

Every nation that has allowed wahabi Islam to overrun it later regretted. Be it Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Many may ignorantly choose to blame Isreal but we know we invited trouble. They need to stand us against those islamist fundamentals first.

Christendom in Palestina is dwindling.I think lsreal should take over Bethlehem,the birth place of the lord,the king of kings and give it the relevance and significance it deserves.
The Jews people that wanted to kill Jesus are the ones that you want to give his place of birth relevance ,what is their business with Jesus who told you they care about him. What is their business with christaininty as a whole. Lol

You lied that Palestine has more Christians than Israel.

Is Hamas a Christian group?
He did not lie, you did not get your facts right or use AI properly.

Practically all the Christians you identified in Israel are Arab Christians and are actually of Palestinian origin.

Also as your finding showed, most of the Palestinian Christians have emigrated long ago due to persecution, same way Lebanon (and other parts of the middles east) lost a lot of it Christian population and dominance. I've personally met far more Palestinian christians than muslims.

Anyway, Wiki or any encyclopaedia will give you a better understanding of their number.

The Jews that choose to emigrate to Israel are very unlikely to be Christian if you understand the doctrine and motivation for them moving in the first place.

In short, if you asked AI the question " is it easier to be a Christian in palestine or in israel" the answer will surprise you, but if you are honest you will see the actions of Israel has hurt Christianity in the middle east more than any other factor.

You clown have started with your lies again

The Christian population in Palestine is relatively small and has been declining over the years. In the West Bank, Christians make up around 1-2.5% of the population, while in Gaza, they're less than 1% with approximately 1,000 individuals, mostly concentrated in Gaza City ¹ ² ³.

*Demographics Breakdown:*

- _West Bank:_ Around 50,000 Christians, with major concentrations in Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Ramallah.
- _Gaza Strip:_ Approximately 1,000 Christians, with most living in Gaza City.
- _Denominations:_ Majority are Greek Orthodox, followed by Roman Catholics, Armenian Orthodox, and other Eastern Christian denominations ¹ ² ³.

The decline is attributed to factors like economic hardship, restrictions on movement, and emigration due to conflict and persecution ⁴ ⁵ ⁶.


Israel's Christian population is approximately 185,000, making up about 1.9% of the country's population. The majority, around 75.8%, are Arab Christians, representing 6.9% of Israel's Arab population. The Christian community in Israel is one of the few growing Christian populations in the Middle East, with an increase attributed to immigration from the former Soviet Union and foreign workers ¹ ² ³.

*Demographics:*

- _Arab Christians:_ 75.8% of Israel's Christian population, with significant numbers in Nazareth, Haifa, and Jerusalem
- _Non-Arab Christians:_ Mostly immigrants from the former Soviet Union, Philippines, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and South Sudan
- _Denominations:_ Greek Orthodox, Catholic, Armenian Orthodox, and Protestant

*Notable Trends:*

- Higher educational achievements among Arab Christians compared to other Arab groups
- Growing concerns about extremist groups and attacks on Christian communities

Why didn't you write as usual to support America and Isreal?

Have you repented? Or you're just knowing it now. There are more Christians in Palestine than in Isreal.

Israelites are unbelievers

This is what happens when religious extremism blinds you and you become unable to understand what you are posting even though it is in plain English for everyone to see.

Oga look at the part in bold and understand that the overwhelming majority of those Christians who live in Israel are of Palestinian and foreign origins ( i.e. NOT JEWISH)
