Coptic Christians get shot all the time by islamists. They are discriminated against by law in Arab states. They work to make their voices heard, but never succeed. The MSM ignores them UNTIL THEY SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP. Then suddenly, the media hears them and makes a big deal out of it, given them column inches above the fold.
I hate the MSM.
Note the following:
“The Coptic Pope’s refusal to host Pence is largely symbolic but significant, because it demonstrates the Arab solidarity for Palestinians irrespective of religious affiliations. …”
There is a problem with this. The Copts consider themselves Egyptian, not Arabic.
