The Majority of Christians living in the Holy Land are Arabs.
Christians living in Israel have Israeli citizenship, however, considered Arabs by the Governments (and their I.D Cards states it clearly) and thus face many discriminative laws.
Christians living in the Palestinian territories have a Palestinian "Citizenship" (its not a country yet, hence the brackets). The I.D. issued by the Palestinian authority clearly states "Christian." There also, Christians as a minority face many problems.
In the Holy Land, Israel & The Palestinian Territories, Christians make less than 2% of the general population.
Native Christians of the Holy Land are Arabs, who are stuck between the hammer and the anvil.

Should Christians take the Holy Land back from the Muslims?
A:The answer to this lies in whether Christians have a greater right to the Holy Land than do Muslims. The answer to this is that they do not. More controversially, perhaps even the Jews have no greater right to the Holy Land as a whole than do Muslims. Right now, Israel, a Jewish state, occupies most of the Holy Land. The Palestinians nominally occupy a smaller area of the Holy Land, but ruthlessly dominated by the Israelis, who are the occupying power in the Palestinian Territories. Some Palestinians are Christians.
Why did the conflict between Jews and Mulims start?
Because religion fosters war and conflicts. There is no conflict between Jews and Muslims as such. There are conflicts that pit Jews and Muslims against one another, such the the Israeli-Arab and Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, there is no Holy War by either religion targeting the adherents of the other.
