Months ago there was an issue of NatGeo magazine on the Christian exodus from the Holy Land.
It always angers me how current situations in the Arab world, and Israel, tend to focus on "terrorism", but never on the plight of our fellow Christians.
Caught between the cross-fire of the Israeli-Palestinian fight, are small pockets of Christian communities along the Gaza strip. Their voices are always unheard. Their suffering ignored. And more Christians continue to abandon what is also sacred ground to all of us.
If find it so unfair and dishonest, on behalf of the Western world's media, to ignore our fellow faithfuls in the Middle-East. Only when there are massacres in Nigeria, Philippines, or elsewhere, does the world listen. Briefly. Then it's back to business: Kardashians acting idiotically, politicians not keeping their promises, and world markets collapsing.
Meanwhile, Christ's children are suffering and dying, under new forms of persecutions.
When will the world care about our forgotten?
