The Last Christian Town? Taybeh Under Threat | Fr. Bashar Fawadleh
The Jason Jones Show
On this episode of The Jason Jones Show, Jason speaks with Fr. Bashar, priest of Taybeh — the only completely Christian town in the Holy Land. Fr. Bashar shares Taybeh’s ancient history and its deep connection to the time of Christ. Located near Jericho and Jerusalem, the town holds profound significance for Christianity. He also describes the severe challenges facing the community today. Taybeh has endured escalating threats and violence from Israeli settlers — attacks that began before October 7, 2023, and have intensified dramatically since. As daily life becomes increasingly difficult, many Christian families are leaving. Today, only about 1,500 residents remain. This conversation is a sobering look at the struggle to preserve one of Christianity’s historic communities in the land of its birth. 🌍 Learn More & Support Jason Jones / VPP: • Vulnerable People Project (VPP): https://www.vulnerablepeopleproject.com • Jason’s Substack: https://thejasonjonesshow.substack.com • Instagram: @thevulnerablepeopleproject • X (Twitter): @Vulnerable_VPP
