Do you seriously think Hamas and their buddies have any feelings of brotherhood towards Palestinian Christians? Did you ever live in Israel and see what is going on for yourself? I did and my family, we were there 4 years, our kids went to the Anglican International School in Jerusalem, one son graduated HS there. The one thing we saw was when we got there, well, when I got there, first there in 1990, there was a thriving Palestinian community, a large minority, something like 30 odd percent of the Palestinian population. Why don't you google what the percentage is now? It is something like TWO percent and falling. The Israeli's did not do that, as much as you revile them. HAMAS did that.
I remember a child left at a small hospital, the mother left it there. The nurses said put on a christian cross around the infant's neck. So they did. The Palestinian authorities came around to check on the child. They took one look at the cross around the neck and said, Infidel, and left. The infant was then placed in a christian home in Bethlehem.
You need a few history lessons yourself, you think I am so abysmal in my historical knowledge.
Have you ever even been within a thousand miles of the middle east?
I am a musician and I met with a oud player named Abu Ganan in Bethlehem and he never let people play his instruments. We got to talking and he actually let me play one of them. He is one of the greatest oud players in the middle east, actually playing for the Israel national orchestra several times. Anyway I found the first two sets of strings were tuned in 5ths, the same as a violin, mandolin and so forth. So using those strings I started playing an Irish tune, which amazed Abu greatly. We became friends and I visited him several times at his home.
However, I was in Ramallah one day and found a small shop of another oud player named Mustafa and I asked him if he gave oud lessons and the look of pure hatred in his eyes told me pretty clearly what he thought of infidels like me. I beat a hasty retreat.
Big difference. I was also there in the old city when a Hamas agent stabbed an Israeli soldier and the old city went into lockdown, the soldier died and they finally found the dude, a frothing at the mouth terrorist with nothing but killing on his mind.
I also saw up close and personal another terrorist with an AK47 shooting up Zion square where I was playing chess with a buddy. He shot at me, missed, went on to kill 4 Israeli civilians eating dinner at an outside cafe.
BTW, don't think I don't know the other side also. I know the Israelis are trying to take over Palestinian lands and I oppose that tooth and nail and it won't get any better till that assshole Netanyahu gets voted out of office. And I know the Israeli's give the palestinians the dregs of what little water is left after the Jewish farmers use most of it up and what is left is no good for farming much less drinking.
I see, I SAW all of that from both sides the tweed. I think I know a BIT about the area. What about you? You ever been there?
Why are Jews condemned in Christian eyes?
