I’m sure that when you think of Bethlehem you think of the Christmas Story—Baby Jesus in a manager, happy shepherds, and cute little donkeys. Yes, Bethlehem does celebrate all of that, but as it is in the West Bank it is right in the centre of the Palestine/Israel conflict.
The street artist Banksy has stencilled several famous political works on the walls of Bethlehem. One of those masterpieces shows a dove wearing an armoured vest. The Dove is the symbol of peace—an armoured vest is NOT! Many people believe his message is that “Peace cannot be made when the people involved do not want it”. What do you think? Peace in our time? You are Always in My Prayers. Love Mom.
