Christians In and Out of the Holy Land


(Jerusalem Post) Ilan Troen - CBS' Bob Simon totally ignored the fact that there is actually a growing community of Christians in the Holy Land - that is, in Israel.

The writer is the Stoll Family Chair of Israel Studies Director, Schusterman Center for Israel Studies, Brandeis University.
