The Talibanization of Gaza. In 2005, every last Jew removed themselves from Gaza. In 2007, about 3,000 Gazans were Christian, out of the total population of 1.5 million. By 2011, the Christian population of Gaza Strip was less than 1,400. They are not even allowed to wear a crucifix. Today there are approximately 1000 Christians left in Gaza.
Israel is home to some 180,000 Christians, of which 80% are Arabs, constituting 2.1% of the total population. Israel is the only country in the Middle East that welcomes Christians, offers them freedom of worship and consequently is the one place in the region where the Christian population has grown. There are Christian soldiers in the IDF right now fighting for their Country.
