Arab-Jewish coexistence

There's a young lady wishing to open dialog on these issues to help her studies in school. You'll find her thread here if anyone is interested in participating.

Now, au, I had never considered the perspective of Christian Palestinians, though I probably should have. Without speculating, I have to say I don't envy them their ambiguous position.

I have read that they are increasingly alienated by understandable Israeli trepidation at their presence in their midst. Coupled with measures by the Israeli government that cleverly and consistently find ways to make life less enjoyable for Arabs (because of their legitimate concerns about democratic danger to the existence of a Jewish state) we find a cycle in which they increasingly represent what the Israelis fear. It's a pity, one could argue that Israeli Arabs have the most to lose from an intifada, if the alienation of them were prevented they could be a valuable tool for Isreal in ending the uprising.

i forgot where i read about it. newsweek?
but the article was saying that at one time the christian and muslim palestinians stood shoulder to shoulder against the israelis. but that's changing today as the growing muslim population in the area is threatening the christian minority.
the christians are in just as much danger in having their homes taken away by muslims as they are by israelis.
