I think that is a wonderful document that demonstrates why for 55 years now, ever since 1947, the Palestinians still believe they will destroy Israel and not have to share this with Israel, but imagine if it was 55 years after the American revolution and people came to war against us for four times. We would say do you not get it. One last thing, the Church of Nativity is being surrounded by Israelis because there are 200 terrorists in there. They have offered the Palestinian terrorists in the Church of the Nativity either surrender and come to trial with international observers of the trial or we will let you go into exile in another country. These Palestinian terrorist extremists are so radical they want to rather die or kill Israelis or destroy the Church of the Nativity rather than go into exile or to seek to go before an international trial.
