West Bank: Christian Site Opened
Here's a story from Wednesday's New York Times. Israel opened the traditional baptism site of Jesus to daily visits on Tuesday, a move that required the removal of mines in the West Bank along the Jordanian border. The site is one of the most important in Christianity. Until now, it had not been regularly open to the public since Israel captured the site and the rest of the West Bank from Jordan in the 1967 war. Palestinian officials said the move was illegal and called it part of “Israel’s monopoly over our historic and touristic resources.”Hat Tip: Elihu S who comments:
Yeah. Allah forbid that the Christians should have access to their holy sites...Heh.
P.S. Those mines were Jordanian.
