Wall Street Journal: Israel's Christian Awakening"We were dragged into a conflict that wasn't ours. Israel takes care of us, and if not Israel, who will defend us?" -Rev. Gabriel Naddaf
Writes Schwartz: "An informal grass-roots movement, prompted in part by the persecution of Christians elsewhere in the region since the Arab Spring, wants to cooperate more closely with Israeli Jewish society—which could mean a historic change in attitude toward the Jewish state. "Israel is my country, and I want to defend it," says Henry Zaher [for example], an 18-year-old Christian from the village of Reineh who was visiting Nazareth. "The Jewish state is good for us." Statistics show that of Israel's 8 million citizens, 130,000 are Arabic-speaking Christians and 1.3 million are Arab Muslims. Rev. Gabriel Naddaf, the former spokesman of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Jerusalem said, "We were dragged into a conflict that wasn't ours. Israel takes care of us, and if not Israel, who will defend us?" Some Israeli Christian leaders, Schwartz writes, are now demanding that their history and heritage be taught in state schools and some have recently established a new political party called B'nai Brith—or "Children of the Covenant."
