re: Sweden has officially recognized Palestine

It really irritates me that people disregard that Christian Arabs are also Palestinian. There are a handful of Arabs in the Holy Land that will admit to being "Israeli," and politically can't legally claim to be "Palestinian."

This really isn't difficult to understand, but Christians made up a pretty significant portion of the population of Palestine before 1948 (15-20%). Today the number of Christians is less than 2% of the Israeli population.

The point is, our Christian brothers and sisters in the Holy Land are Palestinian as well.

I think it is good that Palestine is being recognized by other countries. Israel is becoming more and more of a liability for our government to support as they become more and more right wing and governed by racist bigots.
