Midwest Conservative Journal Anglican Archbishop Rowan Williams in a letter to the Mayor of Bethlehem:
"I am aware of the severe hardship which many are suffering; the decline of tourism, the difficulties of access and movement and the struggle to sustain the economic and social life of the city. I am distressed to hear that the current situation has prompted so many families, especially Christians, to leave the city and seek security and stability elsewhere. I have raised these concerns directly with the Israeli authorities."
Why raise concerns with the Israelis? Isn't Bethlehem under PA control?
Real support for the Christians of Bethlehem might be better accomplished by putting pressure on those directly responsible for their suffering -- the PA and the Islamist thugs that run rampant there.
