Israeli Christians take to the streets to rally for Israel, against Hamas and Muslim persecution of Christians
This is a most positive development. Although Jews and Christians face the same fate under Islamic law — subjugation as dhimmis and denial of basic rights — the unhappy history of Christian anti-Semitism and the near-universal denial of the reality of the Islamic jihad, among innumerable other factors, have prevented the formation of any large-scale cooperative efforts. The Arab nationalist movement, which is now nearly moribund but was the dominant ideology in the Middle East just a few years ago, also co-opted Arabic-speaking Christians into parroting the Islamic supremacist agenda, out of a “shared Arab identity.” Freedom lovers may hope that the noxious idea that the oppressor and the oppressed have common interests will be forever consigned to the dustbin of history, and that rallies like this one will be the beginning of much more Jewish/Christian cooperation in defense of freedom.
