I see the usual suspects blame Israel for the situation in Bethlehem. Never a peep from the bigwigs or MSM about the persecutions and intimidations the Christians receive from the Muzzies, but let Israel have any sort of security arrangements and it is all Israel's fault. Nag, nag, nag. Whine, whine, whine. I don't recall the Church of the Nativity ever getting trashed and desecrated when Israel ruled Bethlehem. I don't recall Christians Bethlehem wasn't a dying backwater when Israel ruled it. I'll take Israeli rule over Christian holy places over Muzzie "sovereignty" any day of the week!

I am under the impression the city of Bethlehem has a Christian major, and perhaps a city council of mixed bag. The unwanted Arabs of Palestine shall continue to force things down hill.
