Thread Name: BS: Anti-Christian Pogrom in the West Bank
Subject: RE: BS: Anti-Christian Pogrom in the West Bank
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.

I don't recall ever having even seen this question, beardedbruce. Can you point me in the direction of where I was asked this question and did not answer it?

And you seem to be forgetting that the Christian Palestinians are also Palestinians. Ask them how they feel about having their homes buldozed and being chased off their land by the government of Israel.

But I will look into your question and see what I can find out.
