Quote from: "Thiel"Welcome Arab Princes. It's a chillax little group here.



I've met Lebanese Christians, but not Palestinian Christians. I have read they face terrible discrimination. Are you still in the Middle East?




I was born here in Florida.  I'm 1st generation.  However, we visit, and have family there.  The discrimination was a bit rough but now much better.  There is actually a few of us around that are from Ramallah, Palestine that are Christian.  We have conventions every year in different cities around the US and sometimes in the homeland.  Ramallah was one of the Christian cities back in the day.  Sadly, not anymore.

APC, I've been to Israel. I had a ball. Few places so small have so many things to do.

I'm interested in the history of that place..



Jerusalem, Acre, Jaffa.. The old crusader forts.





And of course the beaches of Tel Aviv.

I want to go there some day.

So true about Arab Christians and persecution...they were one of the hardest targets especially in the West Bank...it's sad really.  I listened to a Palestinian evangelical Christian who has a church in Bethlehem, he was shot many times.  His church was set on fire before.  





I love the history though with the religions.  When I went it was Jewish new year Halloween type.  Everyone dressed in costumes.  It was so cool.  It has to do with Ruth in the Bible.  Her strength.  It made me focus a lot on the Old Testament.  The Bible comes to life and brings you to tears.

That is true and I lived in the Middle East for a long time.

Welcome to our Shoo Princess. I'm a grandma and probably the oldest female poster here. I'm happy though. I'll be retired in less than one year. ac_dance

Thank you for the warm welcome. Congratulations on being a grandma and retirement.  I would be stoked!

And of course politicians are exploiting both mass shootings. I can't stand Beto O'Rourke.
