Live the reality that is being experienced from Israel through our correspondent Ricardo Silva. The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) of the Israeli government published last December 2023 data on the Christian community in the country. According to the report, approximately 187,900 Christians reside in Israel, representing 1.9% of the population. In 2022, a growth of 2% was recorded, reaching 185,000, according to CBS data. Of these, 75.3% are Arab Christians, representing 6.9% of the total Arab population. Unlike the trend in many Middle Eastern countries, where Christian populations are declining and Christian persecution is on the rise, Israel presents a different reality. Israel is not on the list of the 50 countries where Christians suffer extreme levels of persecution, according to Open Doors' annual report. Open Doors is an international, evangelical, interdenominational Christian humanitarian organization that supports persecuted Christians in more than 60 countries where Christianity suffers oppression and legal and social rejection. More than 365 million Christians suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith. Open Doors publishes an annual report that you can consult on the Internet, which lists the countries that practice this persecution. On the map of this report, almost the entire Middle East appears in red, because here being a Christian or a Jew is dangerous. And if you look closely at the map, Israel is the only country in the entire Middle East where being a Christian is safe. This is said by a global Christian organization whose interest is to inform, so it is far from the political interests of the Vatican and the false statements of the anti-Israel Pope. For example, yesterday Syrian Christians in Hama saw a Christmas tree burned at the hands of Muslims, this with the new government that assures them protection. That is Syria today. The vast majority of Arab Christians live in the Northern District (70.2%) and the Haifa District (13.6%), while 36.5% of non-Arab Christians live in these areas and 38.7% in the center of the country and Tel Aviv. In this part of the world, the Christmas atmosphere is strange. And in this city of Modi'in, where there are a handful of Russian Christians, their store, the only one in the city, they can freely express themselves, sell their Christmas products, in the heart of Israel, in freedom, in peace. As God commands. More on this topic, visit our page: https://www.enlacejudio.com Join our WhatsApp channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VanU...
