What happened to Bethlehem is happening to Nazareth. Go to:
http://www.jnewswire.com/article/1530

In Him, david.

This saddens me greatly. My heart breaks for all those who are percecuted for believing the Truth. How is it right that just because there are differering views there is so much hate? Are we not all human beings, do we not all want the same things? To love and be loved? How can entire nations oppose and condone hurting or killing people, their neighbors. If Muhhamad is indeed a peace loving prophet who spoke highly of Jesus Christ, which I doubt, then why aren't the Muslims living in peace and acceptance? The more this point is argued the more I see Muslims not take responsibility. We are still blamed for the Crusades but people are not seeing what is right before their eyes. What is even more alarming is how many non-believers in America and amercanized countries revel in the idea that Christians are being percecuted. Apparently it serves us right because of the crusades and Hitler. This whole idea is so destructive and frightening.

What the article doesn't state is that most of the Christians are leaving because of the Israelis, not the Muslims. Bethlehem and Nazereth are blockaded by the Israelis, and they are experiencing extreme poverty. So, they come here because it is easier for a Christian to get a visa.

The Israelis hate Christian Arabs because they are Orthodox, and the Orthodox Church owns the majority of Jerusalem.

A little dirt poor villiage like 10,000 other dirt poor villiages. Christians should not worship dirt. There is no such thing as "holy dirt."

I agree, although I would say they are probably not worshipping it, they probably like everyone else desire to see where things took place. Perhaps open the eyes of some unbelievers. God bless and Happy New Year!

Nazareth is NOT blockaded - it is part of Israel not Samaria. Bethlehem is blocked and should be due to the violence of the inhabitants!

"Today Bethlehem has an overwhelming Muslim majority and in December 1995 it became one of the first of Israel’s heartland population centers "surrendered" to Yasser Arafat – a significant milestone on Islam’s quest that went almost completely ignored by Christians and Jews alike"

We just came back from a visit to Israel that included trips to both Nazareth and Bethlehem; here are some thoughts.

First, Nazareth is part of Israel and is not blockaded. For a Christian, it is a rather disappointing place- a sprawling, somewhat run down city, quite different from the town where Jesus walked (unlike Capernaum, for example). Most of the residents are of Arab extraction, but we found them to be friendly and hospitable, and there was no sense of violence or insecurity. Many people do not seem to realize that about 20% of Israeli citizens are in fact of Arab extraction and appear to live in harmony with the Jewish majority.

Bethlehem is quite different- it is dominated by Arabs who follow the Islamic faith, and is isolated behind the Israeli wall purportedly designed to stop suicide bombers. According to the shop owners we talked to on Christmas Eve, there were once a lot of Arab Christians in Bethlehem, but they have largely left because of religious intolerance.

There were many young Palestinians in Manger Square on Christmas eve who mingled with the few tourists that were there. As the evening progressed, many of them seemed to enjoy engaging in conversation with us. They claimed that most Palestinians earnestly wanted peace, and that the violent radicals represent only a small minority of the population. This sentiment seemed to be borne out later when the crowd cheered wildly as President Abbas made an appearance.

ISLAMIC CIVILIZATION?What an oxymoron! Since when IS barbarism called civilization?
Islam is an anti-civilization cult par excellence. It destroyed every civilization it touched

The Jews are not demonstrating with their dead on the streets, yelling and chanting and asking for revenge, the Jews are not promoting brain washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims. The Jews don't highjack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, the Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
The Jews don't have the economical strength of the Petroleum, nor the possibilities to force the world's media to see "their side" of the question. Perhaps if the world's Muslims could invest more in normal education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems, we could all live in a better world.

THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!

Really? The Palestinians I know left because they didn't want to raise their children in a blockaded square mile with no hope, and Israeli soldiers who will shoot you or bomb you without caring whether you are Muslim or not.

The Palestinians I know say they left because of the Muslims.
They are Christian and will admit it is not as easy to be Christian as it is to be Jew in Israel but they will tell you
you don't have to fear israelis intentionally Killing you for converting to Christianity. The Muslims will.

They will also tell you that Palestinian Christians are afraid to speak up or even admit they are Christians
when it comes to the evil of Hamas and hezzbullah.

If you simply search the web you can find these truths or ask your so called Christian Palestinian friends.

Yes, call my "so-called friends" into question. Look at our different faiths, my friend. Protestant Palestinians are basically non-existant; Christian Palestinians are Orthodox, so I really doubt you've done anything more than read supposive accounts on Zionist websites.

About 1/3 of our parish is from Syria, Lebannon or Palestine.

Which makes me think that that one is the only one you know.

Kind of a pointless argument; unless you actually talked to several million.

Anyways, I live in the city of Riverside, which is part of the greater LA area. So, I'm afraid that I have you beat in the number of people, though I can assure you that I have not conversed on this subject with all 18 million of them. :p

Where I live there is a large Arab population, and the Christian Arab population out numbers the Muslim. I belong to an Arab Jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church, and I have friends who are Arab.

Are you sure you are not getting alot of propoganda from left wing liberal or Muslim media??

Yes. In fact, I have never heard anything but right-wing Zionest propoganda from any American media outlet, and I don't read the Muslim media.

That is true, I do not support the Zionist movement. Neither do I support Islamic fundamentalism. It's not an either or situation.
