WATCH: Why some Israeli Christians refuse to be called Arabs

An Israeli Christian argues that his community has long been mislabeled as Arab, insisting that most support Israel and want full integration, and urging recognition before emigration and silence erases them.

In this candid and compelling conversation, Ihab Shlayan speaks directly to the global Christian community—challenging widespread assumptions and sharing a perspective that is rarely heard in mainstream discourse.

From deep questions of identity and heritage to issues of survival and authentic representation, his message uncovers a complex and often overlooked reality facing Christians in the Middle East today.

Christians have never been Arabs . They belong to non-Arabs ethnicities. Staying Christian means that they won’t Arabs .

The term, Christian Arab, probably hard to understand in that part of the world. Islam is made up mostly of Arabs, so everyone assumes that if you’re Arab, you’re a Muslim

The Christians and the Druze who live in Israel 🇮🇱 have a lot of respect to the Jewish ✡️ people ✡️. These kind of people l would like to see living in Israel, not criminals.

The other one with his father was affiliated with Hamas. Then that man was fed up after October the 7th, so he left.
