I heard some moron from the church quoted as saying, "It is now no longer a holy place" referring to the Israeli army's actions. Now, if he had been talking about the Muslim terrorists holed up inside he would have been more nearly correct.

It is a mistake to paint them as Muslim terrorists when many of these people are Palestinian Christians. Bethlehem still has a very large Palestinian Christian population some of whom are in that Church including the Palestinian Franciscan monk Father Ibrahim.
