A BETHLEHEM CHRISTMAS WISH
By Saed Bannoura, Live from Palestine, 16 December 2010

More than 2,000 years ago, a miracle happened in Bethlehem
and the prophet of peace, love and forgiveness was born.
Now Bethlehem, as well as every other Palestinian city,
town and refugee camp, still lives under occupation and
oppression.

Bethlehem mayor complains about Israeli limits
ATFP World Press Roundup Article from The Statesman
December 15, 2010 - 12:00am

Bethlehem's mayor has lit up his town's main Christmas tree while complaining that Israel's limitations on access to his West Bank town are weighing heavily on holiday cheer. Mayor Victor Batarseh and a Palestinian official threw a switch to light white bulbs strung around a tall, star-topped fir tree in front of the Church of the Nativity, marking the traditional birthplace of Jesus. Part of Israel's West Bank separation barrier cuts through southern Bethlehem, blocking the road to Jerusalem, 3 miles (5 kilometers) away.
