I was watching the cable news channels tonight and they were reporting that while the inside of the church was messy (as one would expect housing upwards of 200 people) there was no evidence of any deliberate damage. Frescos on the wall were undamaged. Large crucifixes within reach were not touched. There was little evidence of damage from gunfire from either the Palestinians or Israelis. Yes, the place stank but that was likely to happen if you bring 200 third world people into a building without power or water for five weeks. I think some people are looking for reasons to be outraged. Dont the Palestinians do enough real things which are an outrage that we dont need to create additional things to be pissed about?
