Israel gave up Bethlehem? Now what is the Bethlehem Bible College going to do - obviously close up, if it hasn't done so already. They teach Christian Palestinians. THAT probably won't fly in a non-Christian Palestinian Bethlehem.
I just tried to access the Bethlehem Bible College web site - CLOSED - "The page cannot be displayed." But their new Gaza Strip Branch has an active web site.
Here's a web site that has journal entries re Bethlehem. This one talks about a home being blown up:

OK, I found out more about what happened to the Bethlehem Bible College --- they were bombed. Part of a report from their pres., Bishara Awad, whom I've seen speak at my last church in Orlando FL:
"...But darkness still threatens to eclipse the land of His birth, and chaos continues to reign in the wake of His resurrection. For three days following Easter, on April 16, 17 and 18, Bethlehem was the target of the most ferocious artillery exchanges to date and the College sustained significant damage as a result..."

Bethlehem Bible College, founded in 1979
Funny isn't it, that all of the colleges and universities in "Palestine" seem to have been founded under the oppressive Israeli "occupation." I wonder how that could be.
