And yet those communities survived till our own day. Go figure.
Israel is not responsible for oppression of Christians in Lebannon or Saudi Arabia or Pakistan. But they are responsible for what happens in their own territory and what they control. Is that unreasonable?

In what manner and in what numbers? The Muslims used them to tax them to death. To exploit them. Ever hear of the Janissaries? In the early 1900s the Greek and Armenian Christians were killed off in Turkey. Ever hear of the Armenian genocide?
The Christian community of Lebanon is a shadow of what it once was. So many have immigrated to the United States. Muslims are the enemy of European Christianity. Keep your eye on the ball.
What you don't like in Israel, pressure on some Christian institutions, is very minor. Last year Israel denied the Muslims a mosque building permit right next to a large church in Nazareth and demolished any pre-construction.
A LITTLE SELF-ASSERTION BY ISRAEL Nazareth City officials finally destroyed the basement of a future mosque, started without permits on downtown land owned not by the Muslims but by the Israel Lands Authority. The mosque was intended to overshadow the Basilica of the Annunciation Church (Arut-z7, 7/1). It is a typical Muslim form of attack on other religions.

That's reasonable but you blow things out of proportion due to your anti Israel animus
The only areas in Israel that Christians face oppression are in Palestinian controlled areas thanks to the Vatican.
