Crossnote, these are Christians we are talking about. As for me, I base some of my information on the personal testimony of a friend who had to live in Bethlehem under these conditions. She was NOT part of any propaganda! Things were so bad for her, she and her Palestinian Christian husband and her son applied to immigrate to Australia, where she had relatives to sponsor her.
She was imprisoned in a very small area, just for the crime of being Palestinian, not because she had done anything wrong! The only propaganda is those who defend Israeli Jews without knowing the truth of terrible circumstances for the Christians today in Israel, who trace their lineage in the land to the time of Christ.

Angela, your OP says "Persecution of Christians..." but now you state, "just for the crime of being Palestinian"...so which is it? Or is the main point to point out how terrible those Israelis are? It's funny how most Arabs in Israel don't want to be under rule of Hamas or the PLO.
As I said persecutions of Christians is something promised us (our birthright) and no, Israel is not blameless in this matter but I'm still confused why she is usually singled out when her persecution hardly reaches 1/4 the level of many Islamic countries.

Well, obviously I am speaking of Palestinian Christians. The ones being persecuted. It seems like the authorities in Israel do not look at faith, merely ethnic origin. So it is CHRISTIANS who are being persecuted, and they happen to be Arabs, or Palestinians.
The systematic persecution of Christians, on the basis of their ethnicity is what is happening in Israel today. As for those Christians elsewhere, especially in countries where Christians are being murdered is something we all need to pray about, both for the persecuted and the persecutors.
But that does not mean we should give Israel a free pass with regards to its treatment of our brothers and sisters! It is only a small step from ghettos to death, as the Jews themselves should know!
On the other hand, Israel welcomes western Christians as tourists and for the support they give to Israel especially with the current changes in the American policies towards Israel. It is ironic that on one hand, Christians are being discriminated against in Israel, simply on the basis of ethnicity, while on the other hand, western Christians, especially Americans are welcomed for their money!
We need to be aware of persecution in all the countries of the world, and to pray, and if possible, work towards the release of Christians in places like China, North Korea, and of course in the areas of the Arab world where Christians are being persecuted.
And that includes Israel, which treats its Palestinian Christians as threats, instead of productive God-fearing citizens.

I actually went to the web site posted on the OP. It reads like typical left wing political propaganda that we read here in the States put out by the Liberal Churches. When it comes to the Christian Faith it only holds the trappings of religion, otherwise a political entity hiding behind priestly garb.

the title of this thread is misleading...what is being described is not systematic persecution of christians...nobody is being targeted for being christian...
what is being described is various difficulties faced by palestinian arabs...including the small percentage of palestinian arab christians...due to the israeli government's anti terrorist measures against the general population of palestinian arabs who overwhelmingly elected a terrorist organization the last time they had an election...
a more accurate title for the thread would have been something like...'palestinian arab christians suffering under israeli anti terrorist measures'

also for the sake of making all of the facts available...and for some reason it is always very unpopular to point this out but...
many of these palestinian 'christians' and many middle eastern christians in general are christian in name only...this is not a problem exclusive to the western church...although for some reason it is highly politically incorrect to say this about anyone outside the west...
in many parts of the arab christian world...'christ' is preached as little more than a rallying figure for cultural unity...within of course the confines of arab nationalism...

Pray for the release of Palestinians out of Israel? Israel has been trying to get them to leave for years! ROFL! 
the children of yahweh(by faith in yahshua in grace) are specifically targeted by most governments, and especially most religious governments, and especially the biggest heresy on earth called 'christian',
and
that is exactly what GOD'S WORD says will happen all along -- so it is.

As she is spreading it through this thread, I'd be surprised if she is not 1) naïve regarding legitimate news sources vs. those with a deliberate slant, or 2) a Palestinian propagandist, whether wittingly or unwittingly, herself.
As Kayla pointed out with this post ... ... that is real persecution. This isn't happening in Israel to Palestiniana Christians. Israel isn't doing this to anyone. Christians doing this to anyone anywhere in the world. Acts such as these are the sole purview of Islamist terrorists.

You get that in every culture to ethnic minorities, you will see blacks being target and killed for just being black, Asians having doors sprayed with swastikas and "Paki" written on the house etc. Yes a few Jews hate Christians, but that is life, it is not the Israeli government who are doing this, unlike all Islamic countries and areas such as Gaza who are ruled by Muslims and have laws to make Christians life hell.
