I’ve posted this before, but maybe you haven’t see it (Stephen Sizer’s interview of the prinicapl of Bethlehem Bible College, 1999):

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?

Propaganda? I guess the 2005 committee report by Congressman Henry Hyde, when he chaired the International Relations Committee, was “propaganda” too?

Novak article, 2005:
“Hyde’s committee report employs stronger language than the congressman had used previously. It calls for insistence that Israel ‘honor its pledge to stop settlement expansion’ and suggests the security barrier is ‘a pretext for annexing territory.’”

“The report rejects the widespread impression that the Olmert regime really is abandoning the West Bank and disbanding the settlements.

“The report says ‘the Bethlehem area is home to over 20 Israeli settlements and there are plans to build more. The settlements in the barrier completely encircle the Christian triangle of Bethlehem, Beit Jala and Beit Sahour (Shepherds’ Field).’”
(end of quote)

Once Henry Hyde looked into the facts, he criticized the Israeli government. But facts don’t seem to matter to some people because they believe what they want to believe to suit their religious or political agenda.
