Mr Abbas's dirty little secret

I was speaking today to an Israeli government researcher, who had been asked by one of the party leaders to find out how many Christian Arabs were still living in Bethlehem and other areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority, as compared with the time the Oslo Accords were signed in 1993.

Turns out that the Christian population of PA-controlled areas has reduced by a staggering 75 percent in less than 20 years.

Clearly this is ethnic cleansing on a truly grand scale.

And, in terms of Bethlehem, Christians are effectively being cast out from the very cradle of their own faith.

This iniquity is being funded by billions in EU and US grants to the Palestinian Authority and is abetted by the UN and mainstream news media for whom anything Palestinian is always above reproach and immune to any serious challenge or enquiry.

And not a word of protest from the Vatican.

And Mr Abbas has the chutzpah to claim Palestinians are 'ready for statehood'?
