Challenges Faced by Christians in Israel

are Christians to practice Christianity in Israel?

Do you know that evangelicals as churches are not officially recognized in Israel?

Not recognized by the government of Israel?

And by the way, evangelical Christianity

is not officially recognized

as a denomination in the state of Israel.

The biggest problem Christians are facing is in East Jerusalem.

They are constantly targeted by radical groups, radical Jewish

groups, let's be clear. Some churches, there was an attempt to burn them.

Uh, Christian clergy being spit at by, uh, these groups.

Uh, they write very offensive slogans on the

water, strong

incitements against Christians, especially in the Old City of Jerusalem.

What kind of slogans? What kind of graffiti

is written against Christians?

A lot of it is calling for Christians, "We don't want you here.

You should leave." It seems that those who do these attacks

are never held

accountable. In fact, the heads of churches said in a statement

that they

feel there is a systematic attempt to empty Jerusalem of

Christians.
