    The Christian population in Gaza has declined by 2/3 since 2009, when there were about 3,000 total. Today there are fewer than 1000.

    Hamas has made a huge push to either get them to convert or leave, and have killed dozens.

    And why compare them to al Qaeda? Why not the Taliban?

    They have a formal alliance with the Taliban, and both are the governments of their state. Both have pretty much the same platform as well, and both are officially opposed to AQ because AQ competes with them for power.

      You just can’t stop can you? Two seconds of googling reveals the Christians that left after the blockade blame the Israelis, not Hamas.
