That's one way of looking at things. It just seems that in a season of "good will towards all men", these two adversaries could come to some common ground. Sometimes I wonder if it is wise to give the Israelis the responsibility of hosting both Jerusalem and Bethlehem or whether it would be more prudent to declare these cities under the auspices of the United Nations.
