Bombing fucking Bethlehem on Christmas is just such over the top cartoonishly evil shit and pro-Zionist (fascist) liberals still fucking defend this shit.

Some humans insist on being rotten.

Hey! Just for fact's sake - not trying to minimize Israel attacking Bethlehem on Christmas - the article doesn't mention any bombing of Bethlehem, it was a harassing raid by ground forces that arrested a few people as part of an intimidation campaign against the west bank.

Regions in and near Nablus, Jericho, Ramallah and Bethlehem – which Christians believe is the birthplace of Jesus Christ – were also raided overnight by Israeli forces, Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut reported.

Obviously that's still vile and again shows how close the army and illegal settlers are. But a raid rather than bombing.
