A message to observant Christians, you should know that if there ever is a Palestinian State you can say goodbye to holy sites Church of the Nativity and the Church of the Ascension. Christian holy sites and populations are endangered whenever Palestinians gain control.
Christian towns and churches, including the sacred Church of the Nativity, have been used as bases for Palestinian snipers and launching-sites for terrorist attacks. Many historically Christian towns that came under Palestinian control through Oslo — Bethlehem being only the most famous example — quickly lost their Christian majority as those citizens steadily fled Muslim oppression designed to reduce the Christian presence. A divided Jerusalem would put many Christian and Jewish Holy sites in the hands of the Palestinians and their "tradition" is to destroy any non-Muslim holy sites. Even now Christian Sites are treated with disdain, we are only six years removed from when the Palestinian Terrorists ransacked the Church of the Nativity:
Or choice is to fight back and destroy Islam — or be destroyed.
I’m glad I got to see Bethlehem and Jerusalem before all this madness got started.
By the way, these places are not just of interest to ‘observant Christians’, they are important historic sites for everyone in the world.
well, if they attack and destroy the church of nativity, then we could arrange to have that black rock of their vaporize in a 4 million degree flash of light..
I think the Dome of the Rock would be more appropriate and clear a good space for building............
But they won’t. Too many Muslims making money off the tourism.
Here a link to a gallery with my photos of my trip to the Church of the Nativity:
