The Unknown Lives of Palestinian Christians // Behind The Wall

It’s widely recognized that the majority of Palestinians are Muslim, but what many people don’t know is that Palestine is home to Christians as well.
Therefore, Palestinian Christians are often lost in the background of a conflict that is painted as being only between Muslims and Jews.
I got a chance to explore Bethlehem, a Palestinian city that is home to many Christians, and meet a local Chrisitian Palestinian, who told me what his life is like there.

@@mhr0909 i’m sorry if it’s what you hear about filipinos.. i believe the main reason is because the philippines is a predominantly christian nation, so they know very much about the holy sites and the holy land that is in palestine. ironically, that’s where their knowledge about the land stops, they only know about, say, jerusalem being in israel, and don’t bother knowing about the establishment of israel. honestly and sadly speaking, when it comes to religion, we are collectively blind. i for one only had vague knowledge about israel-palestine before, i only knew about the racist construct of zionism. but i really educated myself on it, but frankly with what’s happening now it should be obvious how much the palestinians are being made to suffer. rooting for justice for palestine. palestine will be free.

The Portuguese parliament has overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution recognizing Nakba Day or “Day of Catastrophe,” when Israel was created at the expense of the forced expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homeland. The parliament also praised the Palestinian struggle to obtain the right to self-determination. At the same time, the Portuguese resolution condemned the Israeli regime’s expansionist and annexation policies, emphasizing that the practices are in blatant violation of international laws.

I am Muslim and have been to Palestine and know this is absolutely true even to the extent where I went to a Muslim shopkeeper in Jerusalem and he encouraged me to support the other shops of what he called his Palestinian Christian brothers. Problem is they all speak Arabic and you don't know who is Muslim or Christian because they are so integrated and have so much respect for each other. Unfortunately in my country most Christians here don't see it this way and give unwavering support to the oppressors because to them they are the chosen people.

the bond between Christian and Muslim Palestinians is so strong, that in the first raids of the Nakba, the Israelis used to burn Muslim villages and killed a lot of them, some of the Muslims hid in the Christian villages, and when the jew told the Christians to hand over the Muslims they refused, because the Christians Palestinians refused to abandon the Muslims, they are both now facing indiscrimination by Israel and trying to erase their existence to always make it look like Muslim vs jews

⁠@@ghofraneoueslati7258well,, yeah.. I’m a Christian, married to an Israeli so, yeah! I have my own experiences with it.. I also have experienced that Muslims do their utmost to give Christians the same so-called 'discriminatory' feeling that they experience. If there is even one Jewish fool who is rude to a Christian, they are more than happy to make a big deal about it and emphasize it enormously. This while there are lunatics all over the world who are racist or extremist. The vast majority of Jews in Israel are very welcoming to Christians. Even in places holy to the Jews... while under the name of Christianity, Jews have not always been treated well... that is different with Muslims. Christians are welcomed in their shops when they come to spend money, or they are welcomed when they speak out against Jews, but as soon as a Christian wants to visit the Temple Mount, for example, that tolerance quickly turns to hatred, discrimination and exclusion. Christians are always welcome to visit, pray, read their Bible or show emotion at Jewish (and therefore also Christian) holy places.. Try to visit the Temple Mount as a Christian. You will notice that it is almost impossible to visit it as a non-Muslim.. And if you manage to visit, try to pray, read your Bible or show any emotion towards the place. You'll have a whole different experience than.. The Muslims guards there send you away and will scream to you as if you were a pig.. Apartheid at its finest…
