“All the houses that have been bulldozed by Israel were owned by people who were harboring terrorists.”
No doubt some have been. But it’s also a pretty convenient excuse to expand the settlements, wouldn’t you say?
I’ve posted this before, but maybe you haven’t see it (Stephen Sizer’s interview of the prinicapl of Bethlehem Bible College, 1999):
“Bishara Awad : Bethlehem Bible College
I also visited an old friend, Bishara Awad, the Principal of Bethlehem Bible College. Bishara is a father figure, gracious, patient, yet this time, when we met, he was clearly distressed. The story he shared typifies the reasons why peace is so elusive and why many Palestinians are sceptical of ever seeing the Oslo agreement implemented. ‘Tony is a student of the College. He loves the Lord. He is a Christian. All his family are Christians. The family own a piece of land on the outskirts of Bethlehem which they bought in 1924. One day the family went to work on their land and found a bulldozer opening up a new road into their land near the edge of the Neve Daniel settlement. When they tried to stop the bulldozer, the Israeli settlers took Tony’s brother to the police station. He was not released until he signed a document promising never to go back to his land again. This has naturally been very disturbing for the family. It’s not strange for us because it is happening all the time. But this is something near to our hearts and to our students. It happened just two weeks ago. All we could do as a College is have a prayer right on the land. We prayed for peace, for justice. We prayed for the settlers, that the Lord would give them a soft heart, that they would not take someone else’s land.’”
You're so determined to cut and paste your stupid propaganda everywhere, you don't even realize that Bethlehem was given away to the Palestinians as part of the Oslo Accords. While Israel was "occupying" Bethlehem, the population was over 80% Christian. Now that those horrible Zionists are gone, Bethlehem is 80% Moslem.
Who are the land thieves now?
