#6 The Truth Behind Israel's Claims to Israel - Who Owns (or should have rights) to the Holy Land? Just 2.8% of Israel's Jewish population is Christian

In modern times, one of the most vocal and active sectors of Christianity in support of Israel has come from the Protestant churches that support Evangelicalism. Each year hundreds of thousands of Christian Evangelicals come as tourists on private and organized trips to see Israel for themselves, to be inspired by "the land of the Bible", and in the process benefiting the local economy as well.

SHOOT: Christians are the smallest religious group in Israel, and those that care about Israel are those trying to spread the message that God is alive and Christianity is growing. They are temporary visitors to Israel in the form of tourists, mostly Americans.

clipped from en.wikipedia.org Christians are presently the smallest religious group and denomination of the Abrahamic religions in Israel. Most Christians living permanently in Israel are Arabs or have come from other countries to live and work mainly in churches or monasteries, which have long histories in the land. A great paradox about the areas of Israel and its surroundings is that even though according to Christian teachings it is where Jesus was born, lived, and died (according to Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox tradition, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is the place where Jesus died and was eventually buried -- making Jerusalem one of Christianity's holiest sites), there are nevertheless very few Christians living in the area compared to Muslims and Jews. Today, there are 22,000 Roman Catholics in Israel.[2]
