Bethlehem was once 87% Christian and 13% Muslim. After a few decades, it’s reversed. The narrative birthplace of Jesus is now 13% Christian and 87% Muslim. Some is that Christians we’re harassed into leaving. Some has to do with the far greater freedom of Arab Christian women to determine their lives, and some just wanted to get away from the hostility and begin their lives elsewhere. Arab Christian women are FAR more likely to be educated and have professions. As the Muslim population grew apace, many Christians just saw better conditions in Israel, other West Bank areas and elsewhere.
