Subject: RE: BS: Anti-Christian Pogrom in the West Bank
CarolC,

You have never addressed ( from previous threads) why it was that Ramallah, the "capital" of Palestine, was a Muslim city, and the homes of so many Palestinians, when, according to the family I grew up living near ( across the street until we moved in 1967, then visited) that town was a mainly Christian one until 1948 when the Muslim Arabs drove out the Christian ones. I guess they don't have a right to THEIR homes, though.


"For years, media outlets have largely refused to report one of the most troubling aspects of the Mideast conflict ¯ Muslim intimidation and violence against Christians in Palestinian-controlled areas."
