We will also learn about the plight of Christians in the Middle East:
In the region as a whole, Christians account for between 2% and 5% of the region's population, versus 20% 100 years ago. Lebanon's Christians are at the mercy of the Shi'ite Hezbollah, whereas in Syria Christians are victimized by Sunnis. In Iraq they are walloped by everyone. In the Palestinian Authority Christian numbers are falling sharply too, as evidenced by the Muslim majority in once- Christian Bethlehem. Gaza's Christians are running for their lives.
The one steadily growing Christian community in the Middle East is to be found in much-maligned little Israel.
Only under Jewish sovereignty are Christians safe and free from serial terror and harm. The one beacon of genuine liberality in an unkind and callously intolerant region.
Our trip to Israel is hardly likely to win accolades from the self-styled enlightened world, but we must be silent no more!
We will also focus on the
status of Jerusalem and the region's Security & defense
U.S.- Israel relations, Hamas, Hezbollah, Radical Islamists and the regional turmoil are not only critical to Israel's welfare and survival, but also to the entire Western Society. How does the Jewish state and the West deal with the issue of security and defense?
Also, when twenty percent of its citizens (Israeli/Arabs) are largely opposed to its existence and in some cases actively disloyal to it. What must Israelis do to preserve the Zionist achievement in the long term, how does Israel deal with this growing, alienated population? Are Israeli Arabs now Palestinians? Where do Israeli Arabs fit in the constellation of Middle East alliances?
Speakers and presenters on our expedition will be renowned Christian and Jewish spiritual leaders, politicians, legislators, historians, security and military experts.
