Palestinians cry out to be heard

Gaza's tiny Christian community under siege
Severe conditions in Gaza are leaving the struggling Christian community open to the temptations of "an extremism which does not differentiate between race and religion," warns a report released after a full survey of the community.

Western Christians Don't Understand Gaza/Israeli Conflict
"The Christians in the west, most of them, they don't know the realities here. They don't know who is occupying who, who is oppressing who, who is confiscating whose land, who is building walls to try and separate people from one another," Alex Awad from Bethlehem Bible College.
