Saudi Arabia Moves to Eradicate Christians The Government of Saudi Arabia is continuing their sweep of Christians by raiding the private homes, confiscating personal articles, and imprisoning men for undetermined reasons. International Christian Concern, the Washington DC based human rights organization, was notified by the United Churches of Saudi Arabia (UCOSA) that four more men have been taken - two of which reside with their families in Jeddah. "It has become clearly evident," says Richard Braidich of UCOSA, "that the Saudis are deliberately carrying out a campaign of arrests of the Christian leadership, which is being literally swept away." Left behind are at least 7 families who no longer have any means of financial support - as their husbands and fathers are imprisoned. There are at least two newborn children in these families who are in desperate need of the support of their father, as the women are not allowed to drive a car in Saudi Arabia in order to purchase their daily necessities of life. Others in the community desire to help, but they are afraid that their houses are being watched and phones "bugged". At least three Christians whose names are on the "most wanted" list of the Ministry of Interior (MOI) are now hiding, moving from house to house in order to allude the MOI. One man who is on the run, Ahmed, telephoned UCOSA yesterday stating, "I have no idea what to do, and am very much afraid. I am running for my life, and I don't know why they are after me. But I know that they [the MOI] have already imprisoned many of my brothers." persecution.org

I also have heard the term...and I believe that was probably said. My question is, did they say Jew or did they mean Zionist? The Arabs had plenty of time to throw Jews into the sea. Afterall, Jews have lived in their countries for centuries. If they wanted them in the sea, they would be there by now, don't you think so? Did not the Arab people in Palestine readily accept Jews fleeing Europe? Was it not their concern about having many more "Jews" from all over the world, flooding into Palestine that raised their dander? Is not that why Britain instituted an immigration ban on emigrants? If the Arabs wanted Jews into the sea, they had numerous opportunities to do it, it seems.
