(San Diego Jewish World) Aryeh Savir - 150 Christian citizens of Israel demonstrated on Sunday outside the EU's delegation in Tel Aviv against the EU's silence on "the ethnic cleansing of Christians throughout the Middle East."

Father Gabriel Nadaf, a Greek Orthodox priest from Nazareth and strong proponent of Christian enlistment in the IDF, demanded that the attacks on Christians be stopped and thanked Israel for being a warm home for Christians.
