Percentage-wise, far more Christians are emigrating from the Holy Land than Jews and Muslims. Back in 1948, Christians made up around 10% of the population in Palestine, but today this has fallen to around just 1%.
In this episode, Tim and Usama discuss some of the reasons behind this sharp decline in the number of Christians in Palestine and, importantly, what can be done about it.
