For a Palestinian Christian perspective, see Mitri Raheb's "Faith in the Face of Empire." For a prophetic Jewish perspective: Rabbi Nahum Ward Lev's "The Liberating Path of the Hebrew Prophets." For fruitful dialogue: Rabbi Amy Eilberg, "From Enemy to Friend." All

How many reactions did you have about the fact that they didn't want to go to Bethlehem - were forced to by government they were citizens of to take a census? Same government then tried to slaughter every baby boy?

the wall at Bethlehem wasn’t put there for shits and giggles. Israelis were being murdered by Palestinian terrorists and the wall stopped most of that. but hey, let’s coopt biblical Jews & pretend Israel is apartheid.

The response is more to do with the incredible ignorance exhibited by creator of the image - i.e., Mary & Joseph were traveling because of the mandated census of Judea, not because they were trying to cross an anti-terrorism barrier🤦‍♂️

Robert, the reality is that if Jesus were alive today and tried to enter Samaria, Judea or Bethlehem he would be killed as a Jew. That wall has saved lives on both sides, somehow these historic locations have been colonized by Arabs after Jordanian invasion in 1947.

You do know that the wall was built after spade of bombings in Israel which claimed over 1000 lives in Israel.

Heated reaction!!! What the bloody hell do you expect? Just from 2000 to 2003 before wall was built over 200 Israelis were killed due to terrorism by Palestinians. From 1990s to 2000 another 1000.
