#1 Will they mention the Christian Arabs who've had to move out of West Bank because of Islamist/PA intimidation?Don't hold your breath.

#2 A smart Christian would leave East Jerusalem before it becomes part of a Paleostinian thugocracy. Actually, a number of moslems are also trying to leave for the same reason.

#4 Unfortunately, this theory falls appart when you consider that Arab Christians are also vacating Bethlehem at a rate that is very alarming to Arafat. Economics is the biggest factor. Living becomes very expensive when everybody is sploding. Few can make money in that type of enviroment - Arafat excepted, of course.

#5 Not exactly news, unless it pertains strictly to Jerusalem. Christian Arabs have been leaving the area for years. Those leading the Christian religious communities in the region (the Roman Catholic bishop, for example)have been pro-Palestinian. It would follows then, that the remaining communities themselves would harbor such attitudes as well.
