Q: How many Christians are there in Israel and how many are there in Gaza and the West bank? Also, How are they treated by the Jews in Israel and how are they treated by the muslims in Gaza and the West bank? Please provide links of proof for your answer if at all possible. Angel - No offense brother, but there are 1.9 to 2 billion Catholics on the Earth (idk how many Christians as Catholics are just a division of Christians) and 1.4 or 1.5 billion Muslims on Earth. I don't know what your answer has to do with my question.
A: "unknown" above has the best figures available from the CIA factbook. It's hard to know exactly how many Christians are in either place though because they sometimes have to practice their religion in secret in both places. One thing is sure...there used to be a whole lot more Christians in both places than there are now. At this point, there are probably more Jews in New York, NY and more Muslims in Dearborn, MI than there are Christians in the entire region over there (probably because everyone is treated equally in the U.S. while Christians are persecuted over there). Read the two articles (different perspectives) that are in my sources and you will find some interesting information such as that it can be considered illegal to hand out a Christian Bible in Israel and that originally Bethlehem was 80% Christian while now it is 80% Muslim). In other words, Christians should support either side in this conflict (I know you so I know what you're wondering). We don't have to be against Israel necessarily, but we should not be for it either (and certainly neither Jews nor Muslims are our "friends"). Neither really deserves our support...period. The U.S. and American Christians in particular (76.5% Christian) should just let them fight it out among themselves and let whatever happens happen.
