The Palestine Romney Doesn’t Know
Amazingly, it came from the Washington Post, but this op-ed by Zahi Khouri, "The Palestine Romney doesn’t know," is very much worth reading.

The author claims to be a Christian but is obviously lying.
There are only a few thousand Christians in Gaza. Since Hamas took power in 2007 they have routinely been subjected to increased levels of violence and intimidation. Many flee for their lives even to this day:

You're pretty quick to call someone a liar. You call that evidence for your charge? Your propaganda campaign grows tiresome.
Would you would prefer this?

Or maybe this?

How about this?

There is plenty more I can show you. However, I would be curious to find out if presented evidence that debunks your assertion (which I think I have) are you willing to change your mind?
Oh and then there is also this:

Do these contain proof that Khouri is a liar about being Christian?
Looks like you're wrong. See this. He's not only a Christian, he's been victimized by Zionism.
And please note how "un-Western" he seems.
Okay point taken about Khouri. However, I do not believe he is a Christian and he focuses soley on Israeli occupation in Gaza but (as near as I can tell) says nothing nor denounces the persecution of Christians in the territory if not in Muslim countries.
Fortunately and remember, he is expressing an opinion. I also wonder what are your feelings about Christian persecution in that region of the world as well? I see you are silent not only about that but also Israel's secularism vs. the Muslim world's theocractic dictatorships.
The PLO and Hamas charters call for ethnic and religious cleansing and demand the removal of all Jews in the entire area. They have rewritten history by claiming the Jewish people never lived in Jerusalem either.
When Israel pulled out of Gaza, the Gazans demanded that every Jew pack up and leave, even the ones who had lived there for generations. So every Jew left, but it's still not enough to satisfy the Muslims, who want the entire Middle East to be empty of Jews AND Christians.
If you're against apartheid, then when are you going to organize a protest against Jordan? Jordan is an apartheid country that refuses to allow Jews to become citizens or own land. When are you going to organize a protest against the Palestinians?
So you believe Khouri lies about his religion, but you have no evidence for your belief. What would Ayn Rand say? But thanks. That about says it all.
