Funny how almost no one covered this attack on Christians by Muslims! Violence in a Christian residential complex in Jerusalem http://en.lpj.org/2012/08/24/violence-in-a-christian-residential-complex-in-jerusalem/ "a group of fifty boys attacked the residential complex for 79 families which is part of a project of the Franciscans of the Holy Land. Following a brawl between young people of the Christian area and some neighbors, friends were called and they all attacked the complex, yelling, throwing stones, smashing cars and windows of houses. A number of residents were injured and one had to be hospitalized for treatment. ”They do so because they know that we will not respond with violence!” protested David Josef, a father of five children, as he emphasized: “This is the third time this happened to us in two years …”
Also Christians don't want to be under PA rule. Franciscans think UNESCO status could complicate rules at holy sites http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/1104554.htm "The custos of the Holy Land, Franciscan Father Pierbattista Pizzaballa, told the Italian bishops' news agency, SIR, that the Greek Orthodox and Armenian patriarchates had joined him in asking the Palestinian Authority to exclude the Church of the Nativity in the application for the UNESCO World Heritage Site classification."
Compare that with Christians March in Jerusalem in Support of Israel http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/10/05/Christians-march-in-Jerusalem-in-support-of-Israel

UN agency funded with Saudi money wants to edit worldwide textbooks http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/10/16/un-agency-funded-with-saudi-money-wants-to-edit-worldwide-textbooks/ The UN agency that promotes education wants a say in how future textbooks are written, and Saudi Arabia -- a nation whose own school books have been criticized for promoting hatred of Christians and Jews -- is helping to bankroll the effort.
