What exactly you want them to do? Charge at Gaza? Charge at IDF? At least they show compassion and respect and hopefully remind people of the world about what does it mean to born Palestinian.

They do:

In a 2021 survey, the Central Bureau of Statistics reported that 182,000 Christians live in Israel – about 1.9% of the State of Israel’s population; most of them are Arab and most reside in the North.

Even fewer are of eligible voting age – estimated around 95,000.

Arabs Christians, on the other hand, tend to vote on issues important to the Arab population and not along religious lines – hence most of their vote is concentrated on the Arab parties, many of which have an anti-Zionist platform and call for the return of Palestinian refugees and their descendants.

It's the Jewish population that need to vote for better leaders. Not for idiots like Netanyahu and the right wing coalition. There is no way that lot ever wants peace.
