In April 2002, as the IDF besieged terrorists who had holed up in Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, Italy's La Stampa newspaper ran a front-page cartoon depicting a baby Jesus crouching in his manger, threatened by an Israeli tank, with the caption, "Oh, no! They don't want to kill me again?!" It will be interesting to see what the Turin-based newspaper puts on its front page following the July 19 firing of a Katyusha rocket on Nazareth that killed two young Arab Christian children.
