A strategy ‘to make life intolerable’: Israeli settlers are driving Christians out of West Bank

Taybeh, a small hilltop town in the heart of the West Bank is one of the oldest Christian communities in the world. After increasing attacks from Israeli settlers it now feels itself under siege and is fighting for its very existence.

The town’s ancient Greek name was Ephraim where, according to the gospels, Jesus hid with his disciples from the Jewish religious hierarchy, the Sanhedrin, before making his final fateful trip to Jerusalem.

A church was built here in the fifth century, and the entirely Christian community survived the crusaders, conquest by Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub or Saladin, the Ottoman empire, the British empire, and three Arab-Israeli wars, but its inhabitants say its long-term future is in question.

1. Probably cheering it on since they hate Roman Catholics.

2. Rekindling the 30 Years War at DoD. That won't play well with a sizable portion of the populace.

3. It was a real slap in the face to Catholics, that's for sure.

4. These people have been there at least since the 5th Century

when the cathedral was built.

And yet, we're supposed to believe that the "settlers" are the good guys in this? How does that even work?

5. It's God's will

6. They likely don't care

The people of that town are the 'wrong' kind of Christian. And violence there means Jesus is coming soon.

Or something.
