"Vicious Attack on French Nun Sparks Fears of Escalating Tensions in Holy Land. A shocking assault on a French nun in East Jerusalem has sent shockwaves through the international community, but for Christians in the region, the incident is a grim reminder of a long-standing reality. Despite official efforts to downplay the attack, the incident highlights the dangers faced by Christians in the Holy Land, where acts of violence and intimidation have become all too common. As tensions between Israelis and Palestinians continue to simmer, concerns are growing about the future of Christian communities in the region."
Despite official framing, for Christians there is little new in last week's assault on a French nun in East Jerusalem.
