Where should Christians in the ME live?

According to the articles below, the only really safe place to be a Christian in the ME is Israel. When was the last time anyone heard of a UN resolution decrying the ethnic cleansing or apartheid treatment of Christians in the ME?

Bishop Graham Tomlin and the Demonization of Israel

Since the time of Jesus the Christ, Christians that speak Aramaic have lived along the Northern border of Syria. I think they are gone now. There are Arabic speaking Christians in the ME who refer to God as Allah. This is not the orderly, world that many Christians from the American south think it is.

Israel allows the Baha’is to have their world centre in Haifa along with their two holiest shrines. Such support for religious freedom for Baha’i would not be supported in a number of Muslim countries where the Baha’is continue to be persecuted.

The freedom of all to practice their religion, whether Christian, Muslim or another religion needs to be regarded as a fundamental right that all countries should uphold.

Religious hatred and fanaticism are a world devouring fire.

I was in Israel in May of 2001, and found them oddly friendly and open to most other religions. I decided that religious tourism was a "cash cow" for them and let it go. Lots of groups got to go tour Al Aqsa Masjid, but ours did not. It was odd to me how they thought of the Bedouins. We even went to some of the Souks the Muslims ran.

I was in Israel early 2004 for a Baha’i pilgrimage for nine days. Most of the Israeli people I met we’re friendly enough but I avoided any discussion about religion. I would have liked to have seen more of the country but tensions were high in the aftermath of the Iraq so the risk of a terror attack was hightened.

In contrast a Christian friend recently had her pilgrimage in Jerusalem so a very different experience having to deal with tourist operators, not to be confused with terrorists lol
