Norway: University of Oslo journal - "Jerusalem emptying of its Christians"

The recent issue of Apollon, the University of Oslo's research journal, focuses on the Middle East.  Or rather, Israel and the Palestinians.  Because when you look at the Middle East from Oslo, you only Israel.

Out of 28 pages, 10 are about Palestinians, 3 about US-Israel relations, 9 about the Arab Spring (which also discusses Israel) and Islamism, and 6 about holy sites in Lebanon, Christians in the Middle East and Arab linguistic history.   Not one article focuses on the trivial topics of Syria or Islamic State.

Here's two of the articles.

"Christians in Bethlehem fighting to be"

The main and only threat is, of course, Israel.

And: "Christians in the Middle East: Jerusalem and Damascus emptying, new comers to Riyadh and Dubai"

That's right.  According to the excellent researchers at the University of Oslo, Christians are fleeing Israel and finding shelter in Saudi Arabia.

If anybody bothers to read the article, at the very very bottom they'll discover that Christian worship is banned in Saudi Arabia and their millions of Christian guest workers are a 'sensitive' issue.

The picture, btw, is of Egyptian Copts.
