Israel Turns Bethlehem into a Prison
The nun was one of four Franciscan nuns who were in Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity during the 2002 Israeli siege of 240 Palestinian partisans who had entered the church to avoid capture.
Compared to 21 years ago, “the situation is worse now”. No Palestinian can enter or leave the city. The occupation regime has closed all the passages.
The pilgrims have left, the hotels are closed, the shops are empty, poverty has returned.
