Still no room at the inn

Israeli cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen laments the transformation of Jesus’ birthplace as Christians flee Muslim control:

"Sadly, after the Palestinian takeover of Bethlehem there was no room for a Jewish visitor. Apparently there’s not much room left for the Christians either. The Christian population has dropped from 85 – 90% to a shocking 15-20%! My friend and his family and probably most of my other Bethlehemite friends have emigrated. Santa won’t find their stockings and Christmas trees in the little Christian town of their birth…The Palestinian Authority blames the flight of Christians on Israel. It’s the story that will probably play on your TV screens next week."

Undoubtedly. When has the MSM played fair with Israel lately? Only in Jimmy Carter’s fantasies.
