Israel seeks to pit Christian Arabs against Muslims in a cruel clash

[Maleficent]

The Arab Christians especially those who are in the Arab Orthodox and Greek Orthodox churches are ethnic Arabians. They are very loyal to their Arab identity as ethnic, racial and cultural element and of course to their religions. They will never convert or switch out their religion to an Evangelical form of Christianity which many of them see as buffoonery. Ethnic Arab Christians often faced assimilation from other Near Eastern Christian communities and rejected this as well.

The bond of ethnic Arab Christians to their Muslim brothers is quite strong and unbreakable. The reason for this they are the same people, look the same, have the same traditions,cuisine, and dress. Religion is the only thing that makes them different, but blood is thicker than water.

Stop trolling, bro. Levantine Christians are ethnic Levantines, not ethnic Arabs. I know many Orthodox Christian Levantines, they do not look Gulf Arab at all, the Ghassanids have long been bred out. And back when the Ghassanids did exist heavily, they were not discriminated against by their fellow Christians, they were the elite. So stop your propagating.

Thats good, brotherhood, unity, and your people are more important than religion. so muslim arabs don't care if another Arab is Christian? I assumed their hostile with each other to some extent.

He's spreading nonsense. Muslim discrimination against Christians is very common in the Middle East.

Arab Christians will never be anti-Arab never.

lol

look at this my friens

Father Gabriel Nadaf: We’re Christains….Not Christain Arabs

Israeli Christians should not be classified as Arabs, since the historical ethnic background of Christians in Israel is a mix of Jewish, Greek, Roman, Assyrian & other such peoples all of whom were here long before the Arab Muslims showed up.


By Ryan Jones



Father Gabriel Nadaf, a Greek Orthodox priest from the area of Nazareth, continues to make headlines in the Israeli press for advocating a new alliance between local Jews and Christians in service to the State of Israel.



In an interview with Israeli website News1, Nadaf said that Christians are tired of living as dhimmis (second-class citizens) in the Muslim world, and are starting to understand that the Jewish state is their ticket out of that situation.

But Israel itself has been holding these Christians back, even if unwittingly.

According to Nadaf, Israel needs to stop classifying local Christians as “Arabs.” As he explained to News1, the historical ethnic background of Christians in Israel is a mix of Jewish, Greek, Roman, Assyrian and other such peoples all of whom were here long before the Arab Muslims showed up.

It is true that in the early decades of Israel’s rebirth a majority of local Christians threw their lot in with the Muslims, fearing the Jews didn’t stand a chance, and that the Christians would be punished as collaborators after Israel was defeated.

But that is all changing, and more and more Christians are openly identifying themselves with Israel, or as allies of Israel.

Take for instance the former South Lebanese Army (SLA), a powerful Christian militia that fought alongside the Israeli army during its years in Lebanon. Nadaf said that Israel’s abandonment of the SLA when it abruptly pulled out of Lebanon in 2000 was representative of its second major error when it comes to dealing with local Christians.

Israel has proved that Islam is not all powerful in this region, and can be defeated. And Israel has allies in this cause in the Christian communities across the Middle East. But Israel must inspire confidence in the Christians by standing unwaveringly at their side against the Muslim threat.

Christians across the Middle East feel closer to different Christian Middle Easterns than they do with their same Muslim counterparts. Assyrians,(Christian) Lebanese, Syrians, Palestinians, and Copts might be closer to Iraqi's/Persians, (Muslim) Lebanese, Syrians, Palestinians, and Egyptian Muslims respectively, but would prefer living in a country together without the Muslims.

Muslims persecute Christians in every single Middle Eastern country. that's why the Middle East Christian population has dropped from 20% to 5% within the last 100 years. Christians get made fun of for wearing crosses, even in the more peaceful countries like Jordan. Christians are spit on in Turkey when they leave church(this was from an American white who lived there for several years). Churches are bombed and Christians are killed in Iraq and Egypt(literally crucified sometimes). Saudi Arabia bans Christianity. Iran allows Christianity for minorities but kill Persians that convert. Palestinian Muslims have kicked almost all of the Christians out of the Gaza Strip and a large portion of the ones in West Bank.

Don't even try saying that Christian Middle Easterns feel close to Muslims. That's why most have left the Middle East.

LOL

christian levantines are not the same as muslim levantines

The plots reveal a Levantine structure not reported previously: Lebanese Christians and all Druze cluster together, and Lebanese Muslims are extended towards Syrians, Palestinians, and Jordanians, which are close to Saudis and Bedouins

about the other things you right 100 %

I was talking about cultural similarities, rather than a genetic one. As you can see in my Assyrian example I compared them to Iraqi's and Persians who they are both genetically different from.

Arab muslims pit muslims and christians against each other, not some jew sorecery. The copts are nearly wiped out, that's what real egyptian is.

Thank you for this. This is correct.

It's not entirely true, and i think it depends what you mean by Arab christians. Do you mean levantines that were assimilated/conquered by Arabs? Do they count as Arabs too?

Not just that, but Pierre Jemayyel Jr, the Kata'eb and Shamoun Dynasty as well as Etienne Saqr have all been promoting an anti-Arab agenda, for along time. It was only recently they decided to officially adopt an 'arab' identity as in their respective political creeds.
