"2-1/2 years into the latest Palestinian uprising against the Israeli occupation, a new migration is happening, from Bethlehem and other Christian communities in the West Bank, Gaza and Israel. An exodus of people tired of being eternally caught in the crossfire between the Jewish state and radical Palestinians. A rapidly expanding flight that threatens to transform some of the holiest sites in Christendom from vibrant communities to empty museums."
