Although Palestine is majority Muslim, I don’t there’s really been too much conflict with Christians right? Israel has discriminated against and killed Arab Christians in the past including one of the journalists a few months ago
No, I understand that the Palestinian Christians have very good relations with their Muslim siblings. They have a solidarity that extends beyond religion as you might imagine.
People acting like the middle east was locked in a vicious, kill on sight style religious war for thousands of years must also take deep pride in nobody in their family tree having ever left their home town in Ohio.
And of course their paid daily editorial column in the NYT / WSJ
Just gonna leave this "bullshit religious pretexts being used as a cause of armed conflict vs 50 gallon barrels of petrichemical products exported in the last year" dot correlation chart here
I mean with Palestinian Muslims. The omission in OP’s headlines makes me think they want the audience to believe that Muslims are targeting Christians but I don’t think that’s plausible when both groups are being oppressed by Israel, so the answer is likely the other way around
It was probably better to be a Palestinian Christian under the PLO than it is under Hamas but yeah Israel also discriminate against Palestinian Christians and deny them access to holy sites

No, no reason in particular
We can see the solidarity on full display in the flag used during the 1936 Arab Revolt in Palestine

Concerning
I'm sure there is some antisemitic conspiracy theory floating around out there about all of these blasts somehow being connected and intentional.
