All xtians and peace loving people on earth in claim of celebrating xmas should standown in solidarity with Israel. The land and people were the very JESUS was born that we celebrate is facing its greatest challenge ever with the threat to their existence by terrorists and moslems. Presently the nation of the Jews and Gods people are at war,there is no xmas for them presently today xmas day, as they are fighting for their very souls. Many of its citiziens are being held hostage in grueling conditions they include babies,women and the elderly whose homes were attacked,after surving a massacre they were kidnapped. It is The Israelite's that are being oppressed in their land with the claim that the very land belongs to the Arabs /Moslems. How come nobody asked is the Bible now telling tales during the time of Jesus were there mention of moslems and Arabs. That land bore the Israeli name of JUDEA,many towns are still bearing the ancient Israeli name like Bethlehem ,we still have the sea of Galilee all were Jesus carried his ministry.Is it surprizing that JERUSALEM is being claimed by the moslems. It was during the Roman conquest that they gave the region PALESTINE ,after the revolt of the Jews against the oppresion of the Romans,the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and sold the people out to slavery,from there they dispersed .It was through there the turks /moslems invaded their land and tried to establish dominance that was how the Arabs(turks) brought in isam.Based on that led to the crusades made up of nobles and knights from Europe and the xtian world to claim back the holy land from the muslims.Which was sucessful to a degree.
