Looks like the days of Christian pilgramage to the birthplace of Christ are over.

Bethlehem is already in Pennsylvania - - not too far from Allentown.
And what's Israel doing with the place anyway?

For a second I was thinking this was Scrappleface, saying that the IDF was handing Bethlehem Pennsylvania back to "PA".

"Israel is planning on handing over Bethlehem to PA control."

Why does the PA want this?

It means NOTHING to them.

Is Jerusalem next?

Sharon giving in to his liberal critics will only teach them another tragic lesson. The PA will only be happy when there is no Israel. To all the liberal Jews in Israel, be careful what you ask for....

I'm glad I was able to visit Bethlehem in 1986, when it was still controlled by Israel. It was a lovely place at the time. Lots of the typical souvenir hawkers like in the Old City of Jerusalem, but still it was a nice place back then.

I've heard numerous reports that the Amalekites have intimidated and harassed the Christians living in Bethlehem to the point where most have fled. I suppose pilgrimages to Bethlehem will be a trickle, if at all. Some people b***h about Israel this and Israel that, but when Israel controlled the place, it was kept up, pilgrims could freely come and visit, and the Christian population wasn't intimidated and harassed into leaving. As I've said at other times, the "christians" that did oppose Israel and want the Amalekites to take over will live to regret their foolishness, they didn't know when they had it good.

One of my dreams was the visit the Holy Land.

To bad the liberal Israelis decided to give it back to the Arabs.
