I for one will be holding my representatives responsible who continue to vote for the US to enable a genocide. The videos coming out of Gaza have turned me and many others into single issue voters.

But the Palestians and Hamas are distinct. There are even Christian Palestinians who are of course, since Hamas is so fundamentally Islamist, not at all represented by the group.

Palestinians who are not part of Hamas are third parties and when they are attacked, you can't tell them to ask Hamas to release hostages or do anything, because they have no more influence over Hamas than anybody else does.

Do Christian Palestinians live in the Gaza strip or somewhere else?

There is a Christian minority in the Gaza strip.

A dwindling minority. They emigrate to Israel If they can.

Christian population is going down in Palestine, and up in Israel

That is not surprising. There are no Islamic or Arab nations in which the Christians population is increasing.

In fact, so far as I know (I only know the Levant) there are no growing minorities in any Levant country, other than in Israel.

The Wikipedia article doesn't really support your view that they emigrate to Israel:

>In 2007, the year Hamas took over Gaza, the Gazan Christian population was at 3,000.[5][33] Israel's subsequent blockade of the territory accelerated the emigration of Christians, with many going to the West Bank, the United States, Canada, or elsewhere in the Arab world.[5]

I think they don't. I think it's as states, that they either emigrate to the West Bank or go far abroad.'

There are extreme efforts in Israel to push Christians out of certain neighbourhoods, for example, in Jerusalem, where people have been going after the Armenians.
