Christians under attack

Palestinian Militants Bomb Gaza YMCA

Gunmen have attacked the YMCA in Gaza City and blown up its library, burning thousands of books, its director says.

Eissa Saba said 14 men overpowered the center's two security guards before placing bombs in the library and main office. The guards said the gunmen had asked them why they worked for "infidels."

Gaza is home to 3,500 Christians, mostly Greek Orthodox. A number of Christian institutions, regarded by Muslim extremists as un-Islamic, have been targeted by armed gangs over the past two years.

It is foolish for any in the world to believe they are safe because the rhetoric is against Jews or Israel. There are plenty of black people, gypsies and homosexuals, who had they not been incinerated along side 6 million Jews, could attest to that. If you do not speak up when they come for others...who will speak up when they come for you? (To paraphrase Martin Niemoeller).
