Does the above blog title seem a little strange to you?
Me too. But it happens to be accurate.
From Danielle Grayman Kennard’s article for the Jerusalem Post, we have this:
The West Bank city of Bethlehem, famous for being the birthplace of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, has declared that they will be removing all decorations celebrating the annual holiday of Christmas.
“Bethlehem Municipality crews announced the dismantling of Christmas decorations installed several years ago in the city’s neighborhoods and removing all festive appearances in honor of the martyrs and in solidarity with our people in Gaza,” the municipality wrote on Facebook.
A spokesperson for the city also told the Telegraph “The reason is the general situation in Palestine; people are not really into any celebration, they are sad, angry and upset; our people in Gaza are being massacred and killed in cold blood.”
“Therefore, it is not appropriate at all to have such festivities while there is a massacre happening in Gaza and attacks in the West Bank.
Got that? hamas made war on Israel, for the purpose of obliterating the country and killing its Jews. Israel is fighting back. Therefore Christians cannot celebrate their most important holiday in the birthplace of Christ.
I don’t know where to go with this, other than to just shake my head and wonder what’s next. How about you?
