In nearly all Middle Eastern countries besides democratic Israel, Christians are no longer safe. The New Year’s Day bombing of a Coptic Christian church that killed 21 worshipers at a holiday mass in Alexandria, Egypt served to underscore this point in deadly fashion.
While there used to be a thriving Christian communities in many Arab countries, that presence is sadly dwindling due to the constant threat to their safety and freedom. Under Palestinian rule in the West Bank and Gaza, Christians feel persecuted and often live in fear. In Israel, however, Christian holy sites are preserved and protected by the government, and religious freedom and is written into law.
