I find some of this to be broadbrushing. Yes, I can understand the Christians believing the tour guide out of ignorance (thinking that the Arab Christians must surely be siding with the other Arabs due to background...common issue amoung men). However, when I was a dispensational, we NEVER prayed the Arabs would "be killed so the Jews could have peace"!!! We prayed for the "Peace of Jerusalem" (however that would come about) and we prayed for the salvation of all those involved. Voice of the Martyrs, I believe, even put out articles about the Arab Christians and that was a highly recommended periodical amoung the dispys. Seems like some of this is assumptions or stretches. Concern for Israel being seen as aggression against the Arab Christians. Perhaps the tour guide never mentioned these Arabs were Christians.

I can see a million scenarios playing out as to the whats and whys of the situation.
