Palestinians Threaten Arab Christian Pastor in Ramallah -Etgar Lefkovits

An Arab-American pastor said he was threatened by a Palestinian security official in Ramallah, and fled to Jerusalem for safety.

Pastor Isa Bajalia, 47, a U.S. citizen born in Birmingham, Alabama, who has been living in Ramallah with his family since 1991, said he had been threatened over the last two months by a Fatah security official from the Tanzim militia who also demanded $30,000 in protection money.
