there’s no absolute guarantee of safety anywhere, but Isr needs to reassert its jurisdiction over all of its land, including Bethleham, for the sake of its citizens and the Christians trying to survive the hostile muslims...

The Christians of that area make a big show of hating the Jews more than the muslims who oppress them.

Not sure if it’s Stockholm Syndrome or some sort of survival ploy (or simple arab tribalism), but it’s a fact.

Very different between the Judeo-Christian relations in the USA.
