Tanks in the birthplace of Christ
« on: October 23, 2001, 03:06:00 PM »
Israeli tanks moved into Bethlehem yesterday.  A 16 year old altar boy and bell ringer for the Church of the Nativity, was shot down and killed on the steps of the church by Israeli Snipers.  The Franciscan Monks at the Church are under fire and bullets have been coming through the windows and hitting the inside of the church.

This kind of post should be preceded by "I saw it personally" or "as reported in ...".
 Otherwise people may not believe you that the whole country lost their mind and started attacking their allies christians (peacefull monks at that) instead of muslim fundamentalist terrorists...
 But we will take your word for it.

How can you hit an altar boy without hitting a monk?  I don't believe it.

Israel use to shell UN-bases with artillery so why wouldn't they shoot church with mg-fire?

they rejected the usa's rebuke of their latest foul deeds as well.

basically israel said "go to hell usa, but keep those weapons shipments and billions in aid coming - thanks squeak"

I can. If Israel makes good on it's threats/promises, the US will have a simple choice, support Israel or continue attacking Bin Laden.
If America supports Israel, it will find itself with no Muslim allies, and Bin Laden will gain hugely.
It's time America called in all the favours it has done for Israel, and demanded a more concilliatory approach to the Palestinians. If not, Israel is going to cost America dear.

man! No, I was stating my support for the state of Isreal I wasn't talking about them shooting Christians, I don't believe that's true.  LOL!! you BIGOT, I'm Christian BTW  :) I just said that my Dad's real parents were Jewish and that I consider the Jews my people, but I already did as a Christian.  

 Not only are you a racist bigot, but your an assuming racist bigot.  :D  I honestly don't know wether to be pissed or to laugh. Though I am laughing right now hehe.

Wow, people really showing their true colors here <points finger at MrFish>. I've lived in the U.S. for 22 years and this is the first case of BLATANT, CLEAR-CUT Anti-Semitism that i've personally witnessed. Well, had to happen sometime, i guess  :(
