Many Westerners have long been terrified at the thought of Arab Christians. It is understandably inconvenient. Recently, Israel’s brilliant Jerusalem Deputy Mayor went further by asserting “there are no Churches in Gaza… there are no Christians.” In this Christmas Special Emergency Teach-In, we explore the controversial existence of Christians in Gaza, just in case. Our speakers are the hosts of the acclaimed Podcast “3 Arabs &,” which has not yet been recorded.
