tommy you said....." No, there were no armed thugs. However, there was a brutal Israeli invasion which scared the Palestinians into hiding "......

Ok lets call them armed arab/muslim/terrorists who hid in the most holy of Christian sites. I guess in your mind thugs is not a nice word for these killers.

Now see if you can grasp this. These armed muslims took over ( hid ) in the most holy Christian site. The Christians through out the world did not have a call to arms against muslims even after the desecration of their most holy site. Now I ask you again do you think muslims would have behaved in this civilized manner is Christians had invaded macca???

Entering the Church


honestreporting.com

...
This week, senior Tanzim commander Abdullah Abu-Hadid revealed to Yediot Ahranot that the Palestinian seizure of the Church of the Nativity was well planned and premeditated. He said:
"Some ran there out of panic, and there were others who had planned beforehand to enter the church... The idea was to enter the church in order to create international pressure on Israel... We knew beforehand that there was two years worth of food for 50 monks. Oil, beans, rice, olives. Good bathrooms and the largest wells in old Bethlehem. You didn't need electricity because there were candles. In the yard they planted vegetables. Everything was there."
