      Please have a place in your heart for all Palestinians. Palestinian Muslims protect their Christian brothers and sisters, standing with them when the Zionist occupiers attack them. Under the Ottomans, Christian, Jews and Christians lived together as neighbors as family.
      It is the Zionists who work to turn citizens against each other. Just as the US politicians work overtime to turn citizens against each other. It is easier to control citizens attacking each other .
      When the Zionist occupiers bombed the oldest Christian church in Gaza a couple of weeks ago, there were over 100 people inside the church, if which the majority died. Both Muslims and Christians who's own homes had been destroyed & many who lost family members.
      Research Nurit Peled-Elhanan and her brother Miko Peled. Nuit is the most incredible woman I have ever met. They are Jewish, the grandchildren of a signer of the Israeli declaration of independence and the children of a famous Israeli General who turned into a peacemaker. Nuit's 13 year old daughter died in 97 by a suicide bomber in Jerusalem. As painful as this was, Nuit did not attack the bombers or their families. She blamed the Israeli government , for making the lives of Palestinians so impossible that it would cause a young man to do such a thing.
      While born into a Jewish family, they are more less atheist. It always saddens and surprises me how the atheist s seem to live their lives as Christ did, full of compassion, forgiveness and understanding for others.

    Thank you for this candid, very informative documentary on Bethlehem and its perspective of the Palestinian Christian community. I am a Christian living in the U.S.A., who acknowledges Jesus as Palestinian born on Palestinian soil through a woman of Jewish descent. I fully support my Palestinian Christian brothers and sisters in their vision to live a life of peace, freedom and justice from colonial occupation and oppression. Jesus lived with a people who were under colonial occupation and oppression of the Roman empire. Yet Jesus lived by, stood for and spoke of peace, love and mercy to ALL humankind and not just a "select" group. What is being done to the Palestinian people today in the 21st century was also done to Jesus over 2,000 years ago, and by the very same group of people who themselves were oppressed under colonial occupation. GOD IS CREATOR OF ALL LIFE, not of a "select" group only. GOD IS WATCHING HOW WE AS GOD's CREATION TREAT EACH OTHER, HOW WE TREAT THE LAND GOD CREATED, AND HOW WE AS GOD's CREATION REFLECT GOD's IMAGE AND LIKENESS--OF WHICH EVERY HUMAN BEING IS CREATED! Peace be unto my Palestinian Christian brothers and sisters!

    Christian and Muslim Palestinians have lived together for a very very long time in the region, treating each other with dignity and respect. ZNist terror has caused many Christians to flee over the decades. I am a humanist and non-religious, but this is a sad and horrible state of affairs. Thanks for posting this because, for those who are ignorant, it may shed light onto an issue that is often conflated as a religious issue and the true cause is overlooked. It is a colonialist oppression of an ethnic people and the world needs to wake up to that simple truth.

      You are so correct ! Many Christian and Jews are converting to Islam after witnessing the faith of the Palestinian Muslims. Even very young children express their belief and love for the Creator as they stand by the dead bodies of their family. I saw a video of a young boy about 7-8. He had been pulled out from beneath the rubble of his home, rescuers were digging his Dad out. He and his Dad were encouraging each other to hold on to their faith. As the little boy stood there, covered in building material he remembered he was on his friend's bike. He begin begging his Dad and the rescuers to find the bike. He had borrowed the bike and needed to return it. That is one example of the value of morals taught to Palestinian children. YesterdayI watched a video of an IDF soldier showing off and bragging about a necklace he had looted from a Palestinian home. His fellow soldiers cheered him on. That is an example of the values taught to Zionist children where Palestinians are concerned.

      @Amadeus_2061 Год назад

      @droomankaas5904 Thank you for the clarification. I suppose the problem is also that if Hamas and PA, despite being tolerant to christians, are making anti-israel moves, then that will invite harsh responses from Israel, which will make life more difficult for all Palestinians. If I remember the stats correctly, the wall has lowered the terrorist attacks from the west bank by 90%. Every government is responsible for providing the best outcomes for their citizens. If the wall has reduced terrorism by 90%, the the israeli government owes that responsibility to its citizens. The PA and Hamas, however, owe to their citizens security and comfort, which includes not making moves against Israel that will invite blockades or aggression. So I guess I'm trying to understand how Palestinians think that the PA and Hamas are providing these things for their citizens if terrorism is still a thing that Israel is forced to protect itself against. I'm thinking that far more diplomatic and secular governments in Gaza and the west bank would do far more good for the Palestinians. Please correct me if and where I am wrong.
