Christians really are being persecuted.

But few speak up for Palestinian Christians.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/04/19/1293276/-Israel-Denying-Palestinian-Christians-the-Right-to-Worship-in-Jerusalem#

About 30 years ago I worked with a Palestinian Christian and he had nothing good to say about Israel. Like many Palestinians his home had been taken and he felt abused living there and had moved here. I think he was much more persecuted than any baker forced to make a wedding cake for a same sex couple.

All we tend to hear about is persecution of christians in the US, most of whom probably have no idea what is happening to christians in other parts of the world.

here are complaining about expanded acquisition of human rights by others, not loss of their own. Israel's policies toward Palestinians are appalling.
