Ten years have passed since the end of the 39-day IDF siege of the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, where 39 terrorists had holed up. The siege was ended through an agreement that involved exiling the terrorists to other countries.
Bethlehem-based news agency Ma'an says the terrorists now feel "abandoned by the Palestinian Authority and all political factions."
They have not been allowed to return to their families in Judea and Samaria, the agency notes.
Deportees had planned to demonstrate on Thursday but canceled the protest to support the terrorists on hunger strike in Israeli jails, a spokesman for the group – Fahmi Kanan – said at a press conference on Monday. Ma'an quoted him but did not say where the news conference was held.
The terrorists took shelter in the famous church, and used about 40 priests and nuns as a shield, knowing Israel would not take a chance on inadvertently hurting priests and nuns.

Gee whiz gosharootie. The IDF hasn't forgotten them. If they've been dissed by their fellow palis, why don't they start supplying info to the IDF?
Excerpt: "Catholic priests in the church marking the spot where Jesus was believed to have been born said that during the five-week siege, Palestinians tore up some Bibles for toilet paper and removed many valuable sacramental objects, according to a May 15, 2002, report by the Washington Times...."
A three day hunger strike just doesn’t seem long enough. Why don’t they make it a three month hunger strike and do it under water! That’s going to get their attention.
Typical.
But wait. That was progress, really. They actually used toilet paper.
Isn’t there some radical Christian terrorist group that can simply rub these a@#holes out?
