Oh, please. When have you heard the mainstream press say anything positive about Israel? The stated goal of Hamas, Hezbollah, Fatah, et al, is to drive Israelis into the sea. As far as they are concerned, Israel should cease to exist. If the rockets haven't landed inside the 1948 borders, it's because they don't yet have a missile that will travel that far.....although I am sure Iran will help them with this.
The Israeli Constitution recognizes all religions and everyone is free to practice their faith. Whilst the Christian community is still a minority, it has grown considerably since 1948. In some towns there have been incidents where Christians have attempted to proselytize - and this has not gone over well. I can certainly understand that. But such things are resolved at the local level. Likewise, Muslims follow the dictates of their religion. All may run for political office and many have served in the Knesset.
