I have hard time accepting that Bob Simon and 60 Minutes are liars or incompetents unless I was a Republican and I am not.
Here is the report:

60 Minutes has a history of fabricating Israel's story to fit their strange worldview.
Just one year prior to Bob Simon's piece, Camera reported about another hit-piece by 60 Minutes against Israel:

60 Minutes' resistance to making the most rudimentary of factual corrections, at the expense of the most basic principles of journalistic integrity demonstrates how ideology supersedes professional ethics in today's mainstream media.

Destro,
The real story about Christians in the Middle East is that the Christian population has quadrupled in 60 years within Israel and also increased rapidly between 1967 and 1993 (Oslo) in Bethlehem, formerly the Christian city of the West Bank, as well.
Since 1993, Christians have fled Bethlehem as Muslims have essentially taken away their pilgrim oriented business, with the Christian population there plummeting from 80% to 15% under Arafat; the Christian population in Bethlehem had held steady at 80% when under Israeli control.
In Nazareth, Israel stopped radical Muslims from constructing a mosque in front of the main church of the city, one of the world's holiest Christian places.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Christians have fled Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. Millions of Christians have fled Egypt, comprising a very substantial Coptic diaspora. Two million Christians and anamists were murdered by Muslims in the Sudan.
This is the real story of Christians in the Middle East and 60 Minutes missed the opportunity to tell it and, instead, told actual lies.
Destra, you place partisanship so far ahead of humanism that when the next generation asks where you stood when the Christians of Arab lands were ethnically cleansed, you will be able to tell them "I was busy supporting my party."
