Being a Christian in Israel is no big deal.
In fact, it’s really no more difficult than being a Christian in the US – which is to say that it’s not really that difficult. The worst that you can say about Israel and the US is the temptation to be something other than Christian.
That’s pretty much it.
Not so, in Palestine.
If you are a Christian, in the West Bank or Gaza, you are in a lot of trouble. In fact, you might be in so much trouble that you might have to run for your life – or lose it.

Posted in Christianity, Palestinians on Aug 10th, 2010
I have just learned something awful, and for security reasons I can’t tell you much of it right now.
Yesterday, the Palestinian police arrested a man and put him in jail because his father is a Christian, in hiding.
I can’t tell you more than that for fear of endangering the father and his family.
But, I can tell you that this makes me absolutely sick and extremely upset.
What kind of insane world is this when a man’s son is put in jail and interrogated because is father believes that Jesus is the Messiah. And, what kind of insane world supports a government that does things like this?
