From his Wall Street Journal op-ed which refers to the West Bank's [???]Christian exodus and its causes and a solution:-
...The answer lies in Bethlehem. Under Israeli auspices, the city's Christian population grew by 57%. But under the Palestinian Authority since 1995, those numbers have plummeted. Palestinian gunmen seized Christian homes—compelling Israel to build a protective barrier between them and Jewish neighborhoods—and then occupied the Church of the Nativity, looting it and using it as a latrine. Today, Christians comprise a mere one-fifth of their holy city's population.
The extinction of the Middle East's Christian communities is an injustice of historic magnitude. Yet Israel provides an example of how this trend can not only be prevented but reversed. With the respect and appreciation that they receive in the Jewish state, the Christians of Muslim countries could not only survive but thrive.
Why write "West Bank", Mr. Ambassador, though?
P.S. I left this comment there:-
Mr. Ambassador,
Your repetitive use of "West Bank" is unfortunate. Not only is it incorrect geopolitically, historically and legally; not only does it go against the direction of your superior, Dep't Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, who calls the area "disputed"; but it is simply damaging diplomatically.
Use "Judea and Samaria".
Please.

You know I'm just a plain old Christian. I beleive Jesus is my savior and he was a Jew. He was born, died (sinnless), rose, and sets at the right hand of the father as an atonement for my sins. Does not get anymore complicated than that. I'm not Orthodox, Coptic, and do not allow myself to get caught up in all that overritualist crap. I beleive Christians should defend Israel, but not liberal Jews who are themselves the worst enemy of Israel and can be catagarized with Islamic Jihadists in terms of the damage that is done to Israel. My solution for Israel at this time is that for every missle that is launched against Israel, their proper responce should be that of taking out of one square mile around the launch site. Scorched earth, nothing left standing, nothing left alive. You know if Saul would have given heed to Gods advise on how to handle Gods enemys you would not be in the pickle you are presently in. Time to rectify Sauls errors, and what better time than NOW!!
