Forgotten Family

Our Brothers and Sisters Forgotten by Our Media

"Unremarked upon by the Western media, a systematic campaign of persecution is taking place in the Gaza Strip, and to a lesser extent in the West Bank. the general silence surrounding this campaign aids its perpetrators. The victims are Palestinian Christians, in particular the small Christian community of Gaza." -- The Jerusalem Post

The prevailing perscription for peace in the Middle East seems to be that the Palestinians will be good citizens of the world once we just give them a homeland of their own. Unfortunately they show their hand too visibly in their treatment of their own Christian minority. This Article at Voice of the Martyrs shows how badly Christians are treated in Palestinian controlled areas.

Our Next President should demand no less than the fair and humane treatment of these Palestinian Christians as a precondition for negotiations. We need to make it clear that we consider them family.
