Does anyone here have issues with Arab Christians?

Like how many Arab Christians do you run across on the regular??

Not at all. Great people in my experience and they understand how bad Islam really is.

I’m not really sure what this header means. . . I know a whole shite ton of Lebanese and Syrian Catholics - some of them I like, and some of them I don’t. I know some Protestants think that Catholics aren’t Christians bc I don’t know how a whole religion focused on the resurrection of Christ, and the life of the world to come can’t be considered Christians, but I digress. . .

Are they not supposed to be Christians or something?

Are you really asking whether people have racial issues with Arabs? This is confusing

While not having a genetic testing kit at hand, I know a lot of Syrian and Lebanese Christians around Lake Charles. Does that make them Arab. I do not know.

It can probably be argued anyone in the Mediterranean Sea area are a mixture of Greek, Italian, Arab, Turk, North African, Persian, et. al.

But yes, Christians in modern Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Egypt, etc. need our support as we are doing in Nigeria.

Those may be the asylum seekers we need.

I happen to think they’re some of the best and bravest people all things considered. But if I say I think that Muslims who are 100% genetically the same as them are terrible then I’m racist?

You aren’t racist at all.

There are so many layers now but white men, specifically Christian, are hated for some reason or another. No matter which group you reference you’ll be ridiculed so there’s no reason in even paying it any mind.

What I have a hard time with is the perception that every white dude is privileged because it’s just not true. Poor white dudes by far have the worst life in this country.

The way I look at it is we live rent free everyday and there’s nothing anyone can say to offend us which is quite amazing I might add.

Also, Islam lol. 630adish. For all its coverage worldwide the sure have gone backwards the past couple hundred years. Low iqs due to inbreeding as well. Take it for what it’s worth. Also, physically weak people.

Palestinian Christians are no fans of the Israel occupation of Gaza.

How do Christians in the Holy Land understand the Israeli occupation of Palestine?

Land confiscation, Israeli settlements ‘ravage our land,’ separation wall transforms towns ‘into prisons’

…Throughout these decades the Catholic and Orthodox bishops in the region, along with other Christian leaders have worked to raise awareness regarding the serious oppression and suffering being inflicted upon the 5 million Palestinians living under this military occupation, with interviews, interventions, op-eds, statements during times of crisis, and lectures from personal experience. But, perhaps the most comprehensive statement came in 2009 with a document titled A Moment of Truth: A word of faith, hope, and love from the heart of Palestinian suffering.

Organized and composed by a group of clergy, scholars and activists, the 14-page “Kairos” document states it is “the Christian Palestinians’ word to the world about what is happening in Palestine.” The drafting committee included Latin Patriarch Emeritus Michel Sabbah, Fr. Jamal Khader Daibes, who is now a Catholic bishop in Jordan, and Archbishop Atallah Hanna of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

At its time of publication, it was also endorsed by the heads of Christian churches in the Holy Land including Latin Patriarch Fouad Twal, Greek Orthodox Patriarch Theophilos III, and Pizzaballa, who was head of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land at the time. Also endorsing the statement were heads of the following local churches: Armenian Orthodox, Coptic, Syrian Orthodox, Maronite, Ethiopian, Lutheran, Anglican, and more.

At times reading like a papal encyclical, these Christian communities characterize this document as a cry “from within the suffering in our country, under the Israeli occupation, with a cry of hope in the absence of all hope, a cry full of prayer and faith in a God ever vigilant, in God’s divine providence for all the inhabitants of this land.”

Explaining the “reality on the ground” the Palestinian Christians state, it is “one of Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, deprivation of our freedom and all that results from this situation,” including the confiscation of enormous tracks of internationally recognized Palestinian territory for the expansionist aims of Zionism.

The Israeli occupation of Palestinian land is a sin against God and humanity because it deprives the Palestinians of their basic human rights,’ wrote the Middle Eastern Christian prelates. ‘Resistance is a right and a duty for the Christian.'

“Israeli settlements ravage our land,” the Christian leaders describe, “controlling our natural resources, including water and agricultural land, thus depriving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians” of these necessities for work, life, and survival.

Society itself is open about its disdain for white Christians.

They smell and can be deported
