1. Christian pilgrims... visit, spend your money, then go home.
Abdul ,   Bethlehem   (12.25.08)
Bethlehem is now a Palestinian Muslim city. Christians are welcome to visit, spend your money, then get out and go home.
2. Jesus NEVER existed, a myth, a lie, a forgery, a fiction.
JMK ,   NYC   (12.25.08)
Jesus = Zues= Apollo=Thor=FAKERY Bethlehem and Nazareth did not exist 2000 years ago, that is scientific fact.
3. #1: So you're giving us clearance to be "freedom fighters"
5th generation ,   Israel   (12.25.08)
and resist the Pal Islamist infestation. Originally, it was a Hebrew (read: Jewish city). Thanks, glad to have that in writing.
4. Boycott Bethlehem
John ,   USA   (12.25.08)
As a Christian I urge others to boycott Bethlehem, Nazereth, etc., until they are once again under IDF security and sovereignty. To all Christians who spend money in Bethlehem, Nazareth, your money may end up supporting Muslim terrorists.
5. #1
eli ,   jerusalem   (12.25.08)
Yeah, that's your behavior, to beg mony, not to invest it but to by weapons. You have already banished all the christians, your arab brothers, from Bethlehem. In a few years you will cry, that Israel keeps away the christin pilgrims. Later on you will blame the rest of the worl and for sure Israel, that the curch will crack down and tourists will avoid your dirty places. And later on you will beg for bread. Better for you would be, to start thinking now.
6. #2
eli ,   jerusalem   (12.25.08)
That is scientific fact, that NYC did not exixt 2000 years ago.
7. try examining history without blinding bias
Dennis ,   usa   (12.25.08)
who was Ponteous Pilate that dealt with your "myth"? who was King Herod who did what he did about him & his Apostles?? Who was King Agippa? Who did also deal with the Apostles? Who was Neor/ who assaulted them too and murdered them? Why did Constantine pervert the theocracy into a hiarchy system now known as "church" endorsed by the catholic roman greco cult? You see, you vent with NO real facts or credible history #2. None whatsoever.
8. # 1: We're not so stupid.
A German tourist ,   Germany   (12.25.08)
Because of people like you, I'll stay at home although I'd like to see Bethlehem. But I'll never support muslim Palestinians in Bethlehem, who oppress their christian brothers, by spending money.
9. Wall not a problem for this Christian
Christy ,   Boston, US   (12.26.08)
I understand why the wall is there & I agree with Israel for erecting it. The wall will not bother me while visiting Bethlehem. The wall speaks of one of the reasons it was necessary for Christ to come in the first place.
