Which of course remains uncontested by priests and nuns who operate as dhimmis as the hostages of a Muslim kleptocracy based on sharia law.<BR/><BR/>I would argue that both groups have a major vested interest in contesting the facts of the attack on the church.<BR/><BR/>Again, it depends on whom you want to believe, a democratic country with a notoriously free and critical press or Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, who've been caught many times threatening reporters from the wire service with loss of access or actual physical harm for coverage deemed unfavorable and insist on the hiring of sympathetic Palestinian stringers and reporters who are of course, subject to pressure.<BR/><BR/>What isn't contested (because it's factual) is the exodus of Christians from the Middle East long before 1967. Or the actual situation in Bethlehem, particularly as regards the so-called `wall'.<BR/><BR/>I likewise disagree with you that the situation in Israel is `complicated'. That is, unless one wants to disregard certain facts and deliberately make it so.<BR/><BR/>When one launches an aggressive, genocidal war against another country and loses, certain adjustments of territory and population occur just as they did with Germany and Poland after WWII.<BR/><BR/>Israel accepted the almost 1 million Jewish refugees who were ethnically cleansed from the Arab world and resettled them within its borders without a penny's worth of help from the UN. They can hardly be blamed if the Arab nations refused to do the same with the Arab refugees from the war the Arabs started. <BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>ffFreedom Fighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649470110087808596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-59445712912680057962007-12-26T08:34:00.000-08:002007-12-26T08:34:00.000-08:00I am glad you wrote 'reportedly' when refering to ...I am glad you wrote 'reportedly' when refering to the 'bible as toilet paper' bit...as this is contested. <BR/><BR/>Maybe that's just another part of the knee jerk narrative the MSM reaches for when trying to make sense of what is a very, very complicated situation, down there in Israel.beatroothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11242716221133886807noreply@blogger.com
