Thread Name: BS: Anti-Christian Pogrom in the West Bank
Subject: RE: BS: Anti-Christian Pogrom in the West Bank
When people are cleared from an area because of their RELIGION, that is a pogrom.



Your statement:"By the way, beardedbruce, why is it that you don't call the removal of Christian Palestinians from their land by the government of Israel, "Pogroms"? "

I have never commented one way or the other. You seem to ask why I have not so stated.

My statement:"By the way, CarolC, why is it that you don't call the removal of Jews from their land on the West Bank by the Arabs from 1948 to 1967 "Ethnic Cleansing"? "

I point out you have not to my knowledge ever stated this point- NOT that you do not do so, but that I have never observed it, as you have never observed me calling the removal of Christian Palestinians by the Israeli government ANYTHING. Neither is to the point of this thread.


Now, about those Christians being murdered and/or driven out by Muslims?
