	CAMERA: Arab Christian Groups Villify Israel
		While Bishop Riah suggests that the departure of Christians from the Holy Land is the consequence of multiple causes, he fails to point out that the mistreatment of Christians at the hands of the Muslim majority in Palestinian society is a huge factor behind their leaving.
		Christians are a persecuted and badly tolerated minority in Muslim societies throughout the Middle East and life under the Palestinian Authority is no exception.
		In reference to the Christian and Muslim populations in the disputed territories, Bishop Riah writes that "The strategy of ethnic cleansing on the part of the State of Israel continues." In fact, the Arab population has increased substantially in both the West Bank and Gaza since 1967.
