NETANYAHU - SUPPORT OF CHRISTIANS! By Israel Today Staff Further dispelling the myth that Israel is hostile toward it's Christian population, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Christian media representatives to Jerusalem. But he did more than just invite foreign Christians to see how their brothers and sisters in Messiah live in the Holy Land. Netanyahu openly decried the mistreatment Christians in nearly every other part of the Middle East, and the world's indifference to their suffering. Said the Prime Minister: "Christians have been lashed for sipping wine during prayer services, brutally tortured for doing nothing more than practicing their faith. Some world leaders are willing to ignore this oppression and seek to appease Iran, but I am not one of them." He took particular issue with Iran's treatment of Christians, referencing the imprisonment of pastors and those who dare to convert from Islam to Christianity. "I think that how a country treats religious minorities is a very good indicator of how it will treat its other citizens and its neighbors," Netanyahu said. USA PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND THE DEAL WITH IRAN Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was right in noting that "when Israel and the Arab states agree on something, then you should pay attention." Netanyahu was so right, that he repeated the phrase several times, to different audiences. Responding to US President Donald Trump's decision to decertify the Iran nuclear deal under its current, grossly-violated conditions, and to classify the Islamic  Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, Netanyahu told American media: "I commend the President for taking a historic and bold decision to avert this danger in time. "He could have kicked the can down the road. He could have said 'this isn't going to happen on my watch, so I'll just let it go,' but he didn't. He faced up to this danger and I think he gave an opportunity for all of us in the Middle East and beyond to fix this deal. Fix it or nix it. Because it could be very dangerous if it just went through."
