Former US congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene met the Mayor of Bethlehem on Sunday, she announced in a post on X/Twitter.

Greene lauded Bethlehem for being the birthplace of Jesus, but condemned alleged "Christian persecution" occurring in the area.

"What is the Holy Land without Christians?" Greene rhetorically asked in her post.

According to Greene, Mayor Maher Nicola Canawati described Christians being killed in the bombings in Gaza, as well as churches being attacked. He also said that residents of Bethlehem want to live in peace with Jewish and Muslim neighbors, but that settlers "continue to take their homes."

That's true, former US Congressman Justin Amash, of West Michigan, a Tea Party Republican elected first in the 2010 wave election, was Eastern Orthodox, a holdover christian sect still in the region, with family in Gaza. He was notable as having supported the impeachments of the president in the first term.

As such, it was more than a little suspicious when in the first weeks of the final solution to the gazan ghetto's uprising, when his ten or so relatives were huddled in their eastern orthodox church for safety, they were bombed and all killed.

In truth they were doing the president a favor. They knew what they were doing. Just as they know what they are doing when the kill the families of journalists, or anyone that talks to western media, etc.
