One last time. One final question.
If you read your article. What percentage of people do you think might be lead to possibly think that the Isrealies possibly caused the fire during:

Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity was on fire early Thursday during a fierce exchange of gunfire between Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen holed up inside.

Israeli soldiers were firing flares and throwing smoke bombs, witnesses said.

Flames leaped out of three rooms at the compound. Exchanges of gunfire could be heard outside, though it was not clear what set it off. Israeli soldiers lit up the sky with flares and threw stun grenades and smoke bombs.


If you think that less than 1% of the people reading this think that the Isrealis started the fire (by reading this article alone) then perhaps you are right. I just find it hard that 99% of the people forming opinions on this would think that it implies the Isrealies had nothing to do with it. Even though it's quite possible that the Palestinians set it! (Get it?) It was written with a slant.

Remember that all of this arguing is over my comment:

As if it wasn't bad enough that all of Islam hates them, now there are going to be a lot of upset Christians.

I don't feel that there was anything malicious, factually inaccurate, or anything else worthy of an argumentive reply.

The argumentive replies are what earned the silly name calling...

So take a look at all of it from the beginning and judge for yourself. If you think that this article did not have the ability to alienate anyone then I understand your argument.

I'm finished discussing this.

Anymore on this and I resort to fly swatters again...
