Were did the Gaza Catholics originate ?

I understand there are about 3,000 Christians living in Gaza.



"We have a very sad Christmas," said Essam Farah, acting pastor of Gaza's Baptist Church, which has canceled its annual children's party because of the grim atmosphere. About 3,000 Christians live in Gaza, an overwhelmingly conservative Muslim society of 1.5 million people.



The two religions have generally had cordial relations over the years. That relationship has been shaken since Hamas seized control of Gaza last June, and especially following the recent death of 32-year-old Rami Ayyad.





Ayyad, a member of the Baptist Church, managed Gaza's only Christian bookstore and was involved in many charitable activities. He was found shot in the head, his body thrown on a Gaza street in early October, 10 hours after he was kidnapped from the store. He regularly received death threats from people angry about his perceived missionary work - a rarity among Gaza's Christians - and the store was firebombed six months before the kidnapping.Were did the Gaza Catholics originate ?
Simple. They originated from a need to garner sympathy from a large population.



Somebody probably googled Catholicism and saw "1.07 billion member!, WOW!" and they decided that was a demographic they have not previously targeted.



Muslims worldwide (despite their abandonment of them), American Liberals, British, mongoloids etc.. all previous demographics that were successfully swayed by propaganda.



I noticed at my local Lutheran and christian churches they started showing up with these cheap olive-wood crosses and crap from "Palestine" 2 years ago.. they cost literally 20 aggarots to make in Israel but they are sold for 20 dollars.Were did the Gaza Catholics originate ?
