"Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has issued a last-minute statement suggesting Christians steer clear of the “Christ at the Checkpoint” (CatC) conference that opens tomorrow (Monday) in Palestinian-held Bethlehem. The statement, which came in response to an investigative inquiry by Israel Today, regards the CatC conference as a serious long-term threat to Israel’s security."
To consider a 5-day Christian Conference as a "long-term threat to Israel's security" is rather extreme - just proves my point over the past few weeks. Maybe the IDF will arrive tomorrow to shut it down?
PS The phrase "Palestinian-held" is interesting! I thought it was "Israeli-held"!
I was waiting to be picked up by the car yesterday and approached the vehicle checkpoint cheerfully yesterday on foot wearing a rucksack. I caused a great stir. The security guard shouted and started unslinging his rifle, but I waved and moved back to wait further away. Makes you realise how nervous they are.
