Christians In and Out of the Holy Land
(Jerusalem Post) Ilan Troen - CBS' Bob Simon totally ignored the fact that there is actually a growing community of Christians in the Holy Land - that is, in Israel. His report focused on Bethlehem that is now under Palestinian control. It said little enough about Nazareth and the communal frictions between Christians and Muslims there, where Jews are troubled bystanders. One can hope that CBS would reflect, if only for a few minutes, on how and why it permitted such a distortion.
