The Post yesterday, “Jewish-Christian Relations”, linked to stories about the efforts of the Israeli ambassador to the U.S., Michael Oren, to short-circut a 60 Minutes program on Christians in Israel. Today Juan Cole offers an account of what Oren and the Netanyahu government might have found objectionable: “Top Ten Reasons Israel Tried to Censor….”
UPDATE: MJ Rosenberg offers his view on Palestinian Christians.
Ambassador Oren sounded somewhat disingenuous as he tried to explain his attempt to censor 60 Minutes. I wouldn’t know how to post the broadcast, but it was sent out by the Jewish Voice for Peace here:

The JVP, obviously, is an organization “enemied” by some groups like Aipac.
