"As one of the few surviving Christians in the Middle East, I praise God daily for the blessing of calling myself an Israeli"

--Greek Orthodox Father Gabriel Nadaf (video)

“To attack Jews is anti-Semitism, but an outright attack on the State of Israel is also anti-Semitism. There may be political disagreements between governments and on political issues, but the State of Israel has every right to exist in safety and prosperity.”
--Pope Francis, Oct. 29, 2015

Israel is the Only Middle Eastern Country Where the Christian Population is Increasing

The Christian population throughout the Middle East has been declining for decades. In 1914, Christians constituted 26.4 percent of the total population in what today is Israel, the Palestinian areas, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. By 2005 they represented at most 9.2 percent.

The exception to this regional trend is Israel, where the Christian population has thrived.

As documented in the Statistical Abstract of Israel 2008 (Chart 2.2), in the last dozen years, Israel's Christian population grew from 120,600 in 1995 to 151,600 in 2007, representing a growth rate of 25 percent.

In fact, the Christian growth rate has outpaced the Jewish growth in Israel in the last 12 years! In 1995, there were 4,522,300 Jews in Israel, and in 2007 there were 5,478,2000, representing a growth rate of 21 percent – 4 percent less than the Christian population grew during the same time.
