Christian tourism to Israel has increased by 17 percent since Pope John Paul II visited nine years ago, the Tourism Ministry said on Thursday.

Nearly 1.8 million of the 3 million tourists who came to Israel last year were Christians, the ministry said.

The real tragedy is that the christian population in the holy land is on decline, owing to tough curbs placed by both the Palestinians and the Israelis.

Either side has someone who clamours for their rights. But this group in the middle has been left in the lurch. There will be a day when they will be no more.
