Ramallah, Palestinian Territories ¨C Palestinian Christians call themselves ¡°living stones¡± and say they have lived continuously in the Holy Land for the last 2,000 years. Maybe not for much longer, believes Reverend Mitri Raheb.
¡°If the current conditions continue, there will not be a single Palestinian Christian left by 2050,¡± said Raheb, founder and president of Dar al-Kalima University in Bethlehem, the biblical birthplace of Jesus Christ.
Faced with growing uncertainty over economic and security conditions, hundreds of Christians have left since the war in the Gaza Strip began nearly three years ago.
