Palestinian Christians scuffle with Israeli police over divisive wall

[Ariadna: This goes to show you that some Christians  can be trouble makers every bit as problematic as the Muslims in Palestine. Well, in the end, Goyim will be Goyim. I meant to say Israel, not Palestine, because after all it is all Israel, deeded to the Chosen by Hashem, as every true Christian Zionist knows. ]

Beit Jala (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) – Palestinian Christians scuffled with Israeli border police near Bethlehem Wednesday after dozens of them, including priests, gathered to protest renewed work on Israel’s West Bank separation barrier in a sensitive Christian area.
An AFP journalist said the protesters, who were joined by a few foreign activists, gathered in the Christian town of Beit Jala to protest building a stretch of the barrier, which started Monday after years of legal battles.
The three Roman Catholic priests tried to pray among olive trees that bulldozers and mechanical diggers were seeking to uproot but were stopped by police.

[Ariadna: The last paragraph above is poorly worded. It makes it sound like the police stopped the uprooting instead of the mischief-making priests. We know, however, whose side the police is. “Pray among olive trees” — what kind of nonsense is that? Can’t they read the name on the bulldozers? Caterpillar. Does that not say “USrael” to them? What is good for Israel is good for the US and it should be all they need to know. And what’s a “sensitive Christian area”? Does it imply others have gone numb?]
