Although I agree with your comments about the Palestinians baing the cause of the problem, you miss my point. The Church of the Nativity has ALWAYS been OFF-LIMITS for gu battles regardless of fault. TYhink about what you're saying -- that the Israelis should be allowed to destroy a sacred Church that marks the birthplace of Christ for the short-term gain of killing a few more terrorist. And remember, those priests and nuns are essentially hostages. It's a bad situation. But to say that the Church does not have the right to criticize the IDF for its tactics when there is an agreement in place for such exigencies is unfair.

so if osma was hiding in a church, we would have to let him stay there?

the act of grabbing the altar for sanctuary went out a long time ago.
