===> "Samir Ibrahim Salman, a 45-year-old Christian and dedicated worker who kept mainly to himself, died while walking to his job at the Church of the Nativity. <=== The Vatican, world churches and Europe are all strangely silent on the brutal Palestinian takeover of the birthplace of Christ. Is their fear of Arab terrorist groups so great that they are ready to forsake their own God?

===> "Inside the church, 240 armed Palestinians have been holed up since Tuesday" <=== Why isn't the Pope demanding that these killers leave one of the most sacred and holy Christian places of the world? Are European nations so afraid and intimidated that no one has the backbone to insist that the Palestinian desecration of a Christian most holy site end immediately? No wonder why it was so easy for Gustave's buddy, Hitler, to role throughout Europe. How many days or weeks did it take for Hitler to take Czechoslovakia, while the world said nothing? How about Poland? France? Europe and the Vatican: If you say nothing or do nothing about Palestinian and Arab atrocities, who will speak for you when they come for you?

Re: What your article failed to point out is the suffering of the Christians in Bethlehem for years...At this moment, The Palestinians are hiding behind Priest and nuns...brave soldiers, huh? iht.com Excerpt: In the Vatican, the Reverend David Jaeger, a spokesman for the Franciscan friars order, told Reuters in an interview that the Israeli Army was putting pressure on the Franciscans inside the Nativity Church to leave. Jaeger said the friars were not hostages, but were remaining in the church voluntarily. A top official for the friars in Jerusalem, the Reverend Abdel Masih, also said the friars inside the church were not hostages, but were "there to show solidarity" with the Palestinians inside.
