Priests brawl in Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity


28 December 2011

Scuffles have broken out between rival groups of Greek Orthodox and Armenian clerics in a turf war at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity.

Bemused tourists looked on as about 100 priests fought with brooms while cleaning the church in preparation for Orthodox Christmas, on 7 January.

Palestinian police armed with batons and shields broke up the clashes.

Groups of priests have clashed before in the church, built on the spot where Christians believe Jesus was born. the rest-shameful!

I never, ever thought I would be cheering on the "Palestinians." That is how bad this is.
