Yet another attack on Christians in Gaza

The persecution of Christians in Gaza seems to have attracted virtually no attention. Recently, the Pope asked Israel to guard the safety of Christians in our area. The only way to guard Christians in Gaza seems to be to get the Christians out of Gaza, or to get the Hamas out of Gaza. Anyhow, we have enough problems guarding the safety of Jews.

Assailants set off bomb outside Christian school in Gaza

Unknown assailants on Friday detonated a bomb outside a Christian school in Gaza City, causing no injuries.

 

Damage from the pre-dawn explosion is visible at the entrance to the Zahwa Rosary School. The school is run by nuns but caters mainly to Muslim students.

 

Friday's bombing appears to be the latest in a string of attacks on Christian institutions in the overwhelmingly Muslim territory.
 
In the most serious attack, a local Christian activist was murdered in October. His killers have not been found.

 

About 3,200 Christians live in Gaza among 1.4 million Muslims. While relations between Christians and Muslims have traditionally been good, Christians have grown uneasy since the Islamic group Hamas routed forces of the secular Fatah movement and seized control of Gaza in June.
