Hamas’ Al Resalah site has a video report on how Fatah persecutes Christians in the West Bank.
The report talks about Fatah thugs in a Christian-majority village called Jifna, north of Ramallah. These thugs fired shots at homes and businesses, threw Molotov cocktails and demanded the Christians to pay jizya (poll tax for non-Muslims to live in “peace.”)
The one who was accused of being responsible for this was formerly the head of chamber of commerce in Ramallah and a former candidate for the revolutionary council of Fatah. He was not arrested nor called in for questioning by the PA.
In another incident, the PA security forces “stormed” the house of a Christian woman named Teresa Hajl in Bethlehem. They beat her daughter, and when she tried to protect her daughter, they killed her. Since the mother had Jordanian citizenship, the daughter appealed, apparently unsuccessfully, to the king of Jordan (the report does not say whether the king did anything). The PA didn’t do anything.
The report ends with the question “in whose interest do the security forces of the PA harm social peace”? The implicit answer is, of course, the Jews.
Of course, nearly all of the Christians in Gaza have fled under Hamas rule, and a huge number of Christians in the West Bank have fled under PA rule. But it is November, meaning that the media will start publishing stories next month about how Israel is responsible for Christian flight from under Muslim rule, even though Christians are fleeing from every Muslim majority nation.
