Wishing peace for all ❤️
Jesus was born in Nazareth. They traveled to Bethlehem because Caesar ordered a census and that is where Joseph was from. Caesar ordered a census at that time because the Romans knew a descendant of King David had just been born.
Remember that Bethlehem was around 90% Christian in 1940s and 50s but now it is 16% after the Muslims took over.
Peace ✌️
United Kingdom is responsible for this snice 1917 with the Balfour declaration.
The UK and France betrayed Sharif Hussein ibn Ali. Sharif Hussein ibn Ali wanted the United Arabs, and the UK and France agreed to it first. After the Arab revolt leaders betrayed and went to war with the Ottoman Empire, the UK and France decided to betray the Arab revolt leaders and forced the Arab revolt leaders to sign a sky-high agreement.
If Britain didn't help Zionism, we wouldn't have this war.
Do you hold the British government responsible for the Palestine war?
Bethlehem is in Palestine. Why do they keep mentioning Israel?
Yes it is tragic that the town who looks to profit off other people’s beliefs is seeing a drop in taking advantage of that. Since Bethlehem is overwhelmingly Muslim majority they don’t believe Jesus was anything more than a prophet at most, a name in history at least
I like what he said "Bethlehem is where peace was borne", so this is how it will be, even though it is hard to understand for us, whatever happens, will be God's will, He already knows how this ends ❤❤❤❤
😢😢😢😢
The bible taught us thru Job;
”Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.“
Job 2:9-10 KJV
Typical jews, worried about losing money when your country has killed thousands of innocent people.
Religion is evil and the abrahamic cults are the worst. One religion, three names, all hypocrites, all evil.
The Muslims have been hoping for an excuse to cancel Christmas in Bethelhelm for centuries now. Thy finally have it.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem Judea and He was Jewish. We love our Messiah and pray for peace. ✝️🩵🕊🇮🇱🙏
I am Christian and I stand with Israel. 🇮🇱🩵🙏 Hamas started this war and radicals islamist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah continously target Israelis. That being said praying for peace and prosperity in the holyland for all Christians and Jews alike and the Muslims.
So weird that you didn't interview the Pastor of the Nativity Church and show the nativity set he built for baby Jesus this year.
How in the world could Christians, or any tourist be expected to go anywhere near there?
😢
Remember that Bethlehem is in the Palestinian territories. They failed to mention that.
Stop complaining about how inconvenient war and the death of thousands of people is , and be grateful that he still has his family, his home, his health and livelihood.
XMAS is NOT even a Holiday anymore – now, it's a BUSINESS and all about MATERIALISM.
Those muslims or Palestinians in Bethlehem should probably TALK TO HAMAS about ruining their business.
Most christians do not know that the christians there are Palestinians. So they rather support the zionist killing their christians brothers and sisters
Jesus did not born winter or December 25
Religion has caused so much war.
Stupid cancelled Xmas, simply wrong….Jesus is the spirit of Xmas not war or Hamas
Lord Jesus bless and protect all the Palestinian people and grant them deliverance from Israel atrocities and grant peace and hope to everyone 🙏 Amen
Pathetic that religious people haven't figured out that leaving God out of it might actually create far less violence in the territory.
