My Way News - Bethlehem Santa Gives Joy in Cool Shades
AP reports: "Hana Rishmawi said his business has grown a little every year, a small miracle considering that Christians are a diminishing minority - just 2 percent of the West Bank's 2.4 million residents. Economic hardship and growing Muslim fervor have fueled the Christian exodus."

Comment: Interesting way to put it, perhaps "Muslim fervor" is a bit of euphemism? I think the Palestinians want the holiday tourists, they just don't want any actual Christians living there.
