The Christians are Angry
It hasn’t happened in almost a hundred and fifty years, but this week
members of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre decided to close down the
church. The Christians in Jerusalem are angry because of two things: the
first one is that the mayor, Nir Barkat, decided that they have to pay
retroactive municipal tax, a sum that reaches seven hundred million NIS.
The other one is that (they) want to take all of the church’s lands in
Jerusalem because it creates real estate problems. The church says that no
one in the world asks the church things like this, and it hurts the status-quo
Jerusalem has. It seems that it will take more time before they find a
solution to this problem.
