Dennis Prager has Five questions non-Muslims would like answered.
I'm not sure he's right about #2. I'd be willing to bet there have been some Dhimmi Christians that have been involved in more than just talk like Hannan Ashrawi.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

You are right: PFLP has or used to have members who were Christian, and was even founded by George Habash, a Christian. Not sure how Christian those Christians were: PFLP is a Marxist-leaning terrorist group.

Christian Palestinians have been targeted for ethnic cleansing. Bethlehem used to be majority Christian, now they make up 10-20 percent of the population.
There has been a steady exodus of Christian Arabs from Pali-controlled areas - to Israel or other destinations.
Ben-David: True. Christians are fleeing PA-controlled territory in dorves. I believe Prager and Solomon are referring to the small minoirty of Palestinians Christians who have thrown their lot in with the drive-the-Jews-into-the-sea Muslims. They foolishly believe that they can earn the respect of Muslims by becoming 'more anti-Semitic than they.'
These Jew-hating Christians include Hanan Ashrawi and other like her who go around telling lies on behalf of the PA; Rev. George Rishmawi, founder fo the terrorism-supporting ISM, Rev. Ateek, founder of the anti-Semitic Sabeel Canter, and the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, Riah Abu El-Assal, who calls suicide bombers "Holy Martyrs" and supports the destruction of Israel.
The question is why have no terrorists been Christians? I don't know of any, do you. If so can you name them? When have Palestinian Christians killed Jews in modern history in acts of terrorism?
I cannot think of a single one.
However, that does not mean that suicide terrorism is uniquely Muslim. The Hindu Tamil Tigers are notorious for it.
I cannot, however, think of a single instance of a Christian or a Jew becoming a suicide bomber.
Can anybody?
