Welcome back to the Dershore show. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas or the Mary

Happy Last Days of Chronicles or whatever holidays you celebrate I guess we all celebrate New Year's coming up a lot has

happened obviously since our our last show first I want to say a word about Merry Christmas to the Christians who live in the

victim these days of a kind of cultural genocide.

When Israel was first established, the number of Christians in Lebanon, for example, was very

extensive.

The government of Lebanon was always divided into a Christian head of state or

prime minister and a Muslim head of state or prime minister was a very

divided country. The Gaza Strip had Christians, Christian Arabs, Greek Orthodox, cops, and of course Bethlehem. I first went to Bethlehem in 1970 in the winter at

Christmas of 1970 it was just beautiful, you know, where Christianity all began.

Israel had just one control of Bethlehem during the 67 war before that obviously no

Jews were allowed in Bethlehem but the Bethlehem of 1970 was beautiful.

It was a great Christian event.

And then of course what happened is,

let's start with Lebanon. Lebanon just became Christian Rhine like

Uden Rhine. The Christians, many of them, were forced to leave.

And the Christians who lived in Gaza

were forced to leave.

The Muslim extremists in Hamas didn't want Christians and they were forced to leave.

And many Christians who made their home in Bethlehem for centuries

were forced to leave.

The only place in that area
