Please note the typical Palestinian nonsense about "a Moslem shrine in
Bet-Lehem being turned into a synagogue". They mean the Tomb of the
Jewish matriarch Rachel whose death and burial in Bet-lehem is recorded
in the Book of Genesis. This has been a Jewish holy place for 3500
years, long before Islam was invented.
The Biblical book of Ruth is also set in Bet-lehem which was then a
Jewish town. Ruth was an ancestor of King David who was born in Bet-
Lehem and who ruled there and in Hebron before establishing the Jewish
monarchy in Jerusalem.That was 1600 years or more before the Qoran.
There is no doubt about Jewish ties to Bet-Lehem.
Today Moslems, who forcibly conquered Bet-Lehem in the 7th century
("fatahuha 'anwatan" say Arab historians...) are the majority in
Bet-Lehem and the Christians who live near the traditional birthplace
of Jesus are a minority under Palestinian oppression.
The only Jews in the town look after the Tomb of Rachel and sadly they
continue to need Israel army protection in the face of Arab
provocation and intolerance.

Well said !
Nossy,
You know as well as I do, along with EVERYBODY in the world, that if
the so-called Palestinian Arabs, and the other Arab nations, had
accepted the fact that the Jews have historical ancestral ties to
Palestine, that the Zionists PURCHASED the land, and that the 1947 UN
Partition Plan was a reasonable compromise to resolve competing
claims, none of what you're complaining about would even be happening
now.
Furthermore, if the Palestinian Arabs had abided by the 1993 Oslo
Accords and had not used the Israeli evacuation to develop and import
illegal weapons that were intended solely for OFFENSIVE MILITARY
ACTION against Israel, none of this "roadmap" would've been necessary
either; they would've have their independent nation by now, and the
freedom to determine their own destiny.
Also, if Arafart would've accepted the FACT that Israel is a sovereign
nation with the right to control immigration within its borders,
again, you'd be in your own independent nation right now instead of
suffering under a military occupation resulting from Arab aggression
against Israel.
Sorry Nossy, but the Zionists are not going to abandon the nation that
they purchased and they built! If you want to build your own nation,
please do so, and please improve the living conditions of the
Palestinian Arabs. But if the only thing the Palestinian Arabs are
going to do with areas under their control is to launch attacks
against Israelis and Israel, what do you think is going to happen to
them (and it's not going to be good news)?
Finally, the Palestinian Arabs don't have a monopoly on refugess
resulting from the creation of Israel. From what I just read, more
than 800,000 Jews (compared to about 500,000 Arabs) also became
refugees despite roots going back centuries in various Middle East and
North African countries. So where are the refugee camps where the
Jews are being confined? At least one side of the conflict took care
of its people instead of using them as pawns (and don't the
Palestinian Arabs realize who is really to blame for them still
thinking of themselves as "refugees?).

The media goes along with the lies in Gaza and Bethlehem........They
move their checkpoints and weapons of mass destruction a few yards
here or there and the major media calls it a "withdrawal."

Palestinians criticize PA-Zionist agreement on Bethlehem

Bethlehem - Palestinians in the West Bank city of Bethlehem have
criticized the new agreement between the Palestinian Authority and the
Zionist entity over troop withdrawal from their city.
They said that the new agreement was worse than a previous one reached
between the two parties. The citizens noted that the Zionist
occupation forces would remain in half of the city namely in northern
Bethlehem where the occupation authorities had turned an Islamic
shrine into a Jewish synagogue and army barracks.
Occupation troops would also remain in areas of Beit Jala, Beit Sahur
and Al-Khader towns, the Palestinian sources said, noting that
withdrawal of the occupation forces would mainly be from
heavily-populated areas in those towns.
In return, the Zionist troops would not evacuate any village and would
retain roadblocks and military checkpoints erected during the Aqsa
intifada.
