Danny,
I suppose you may have heard about Bob Simon (CBS) reporting a story on 60 Minutes TV blaming Israel for the decline of Christian population in the West Bank.
Much controversy about this distorted and one sided story in America.
You might consider a report of your own.
Keep up your great work.

Thanks Jack. Yes, I just saw the video and I have many comments. I think it’s irresponsible, yet predictable to single out Israel for Christians leaving in Judea and Samaria when their kin are leaving in droves in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Sudan, Egypt, Jordan, etc etc etc….. as well. I think I will try to write something on the issue, but will try to focus on their relations with Muslims and being an outcome of two conflicts (Islam-Jewish and Islamists-everyone elese). In Judea and Samaria, they live with Muslims, not Jews and is important to note that they remain more educated and well-off than their Muslim counterparts….which offers many incentives to leave smaller Arab cities like Bethlehem.
