Adam Zivo: Little love for Iran in the West Bank
As the Iran-Israel war raged last month, I visited Bethlehem in the West Bank, on behalf of the News Forum, to better understand how Palestinians coped with the conflict, which is now in a ceasefire. There, I spoke with several locals who, despite being deeply critical of Israel, called for regional peace and harboured little love for the Iranian regime. Perhaps the world would be a better place if more people — particularly anti-Israel activists in the West — listened to these voices. Article content Article content While Bethlehem is normally only a 20-minute bus ride away from Jerusalem, Israeli security forces locked down the West Bank at the beginning of the war with Iran. Checkpoints proliferated. Gates were closed. The city's main entrance (heavy iron doors flanked by armed soldiers) was shut on the morning of my visit, as were most of the inbound roads. Yet, after several failures, my taxi eventually found an open entry. Article content Article content Article content In more peaceful times, over 2.5 million tourists would come to Bethlehem each year, primarily to see the Church of the Nativity where Jesus Christ was born. But the October 7 massacre committed by Hamas in southern Israel, followed by the wars in Gaza and against Hezbollah, decimated Israel's tourism sector, leaving the West Bank bereft of visitors. Many of the city's districts were essentially empty — only thick quiet existed amid shuttered storefronts. 'Since the war against Gaza, the situation was horrible. We are isolated,' Jack Jackaman, a Christian Palestinian who owned a small woodworking shop near the church told me. He said that Israel's stricter use of gates and checkpoints made it near-impossible for Palestinians to travel within the West Bank. These restrictions had, furthermore, precipitated a fuel crisis: lines of cars jammed the roads near gas stations, awaiting their rations. Article content Article content 'We are not secure. No income. The family completely without income. My workers — everybody is not safe. We have nothing. No secure future,' he said. Article content Article content Although Jackaman blamed Israel for the war with Iran, he also believed that the Iranian regime is irrational and that neither Tehran nor Tel Aviv should have nuclear weapons. He was afraid of Iran's missiles, because, even if they were aimed at Israeli cities, they still flew over the West Bank and could malfunction and land on Palestinian communities. Article content While Jackaman believed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a warmonger, he considered Judaism a 'normal religion' that calls for 'peace and love,' much like Christianity and Islam. 'As Christians, we have to follow the teaching of our Jesus and to pray for peace and try not to make war. The war will not achieve peace,' he said. Article content Joseph Kaleel, an elderly Christian Palestinian woodworker, felt similarly: 'We just keep praying for peace of Jerusalem. For everyone. For everybody. Doesn't matter your religion, your race, your colour, your country. We want peace.' He had once employed half a dozen labourers at his workshop, but the tourism industry's wartime collapse had forced him to lay them all off. He sold his tools just to survive. The basement that once housed them was derelict and coated in dust. Article content When the Iran war erupted, Kaleel ran to the grocery store to buy food for his children and oil for his car. He sat in front of the television for the first few days, sleeplessly watching Al Jazeera 'from the morning till the morning,' and worried about errant Iranian missiles: 'They don't have eyes. They make mistakes.' Article content While Kaleel believed that the Iranian people are peaceful, he called their regime 'very crazy' but 'very strong.' He worried that hostilities could drag on, given that the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s had lasted for eight years. Article content When I told him that some Westerners glorify Iran's Islamic Regime because they believe this furthers the Palestinian cause, he seemed irritated. 'This is wrong. Brother, this is wrong,' he replied. He believed that Iran should abandon its militancy, not seek regional hegemony, and that this would stabilize the Middle East by neutralizing Tehran's proxies in Yemen and Lebanon (the Houthis and Hezbollah). Article content Kaleel's grandson Michael, who also worked in the family business, concurred with his grandfather: 'We need peace. We don't care about Iran and what they do.' Over a cup of mint tea, he described the unemployment and destitution that had befallen Bethlehem after October 7 which worsened amid the newest war. These troubles had left some locals, particularly orphans and widows, crushed 'like the grass between two elephants fighting.' Article content He said that an Iranian missile had recently landed near his home, shaking its walls. Yet, like most Palestinians in the West Bank, he had no bomb shelter to retreat to, so all he could do was pray to God for safety. 'You can't say Palestinian and Iran are the same. We are never the same,' he firmly asserted, noting that Iran had supported the 'bad' and 'crazy' people behind October 7. Article content In Aida Refugee Camp (which consists of run down low-rise apartments, not tents), I spoke with a Muslim vendor of ice cream and juice. He had once made a good income working in Israel, like many Palestinian labourers, but now, with the wars, that was no longer possible. Article content Article content 'All we ask for is to live in peace, raise our children, and live a dignified life. People have reached the point of despair. In mosques, the number of people begging is now greater than the number of people praying,' he said. 'It's a heartbreaking situation.' He, too, feared Iran's rockets: 'They don't distinguish between civilians and soldiers. Palestinians or Israelis. In the end, everyone loses in war.' Article content Ahmed Al-Sabba, another street vendor, was similarly anxious. His children couldn't sleep out of fear of Iran's missiles, whose explosions sounded 'terrifying,' so he would stay awake with them until the morning. 'We do not support Iran, or the Iranian government, or sectarianism or wars.' Article content He said that, though Israel's restrictions had made life much harder, he nonetheless wanted coexistence: 'We see what is happening in Gaza, we don't want to see it happen in the West Bank. Wars only grow bigger and destroy relationships. Our message is simple: we want to live in peace. We don't want wars.' Article content The following week, after the Israel-Iran war abruptly ended, I visited a Palestinian peace activist in his village near Bethlehem (disclosure: I paid him to act as my guide and translator on the previous trip; his name has been withheld for his safety). Sitting in his living room, he explained that it is unproductive for Westerners to conflate Palestinian and Iranian interests, partially because each nation belongs to a different branch of Islam. Article content Iranians are predominantly Shias. Palestinians are predominantly Sunnis. Historically, there has been a great deal of violence between these two sects, so, according to the peace activist, some Palestinians fear that they could be Iran's 'next target' should it defeat and occupy Israel. Article content Nonetheless, many of his neighbours climbed onto their roofs to watch the Iranian attacks. Some were curious spectators. Others wanted to witness the destruction of Israel, despite their misgivings about Iran. And then there were the parents 'who wanted to see if any missile was heading to their home so they could just collect their kids and say their final goodbyes.' Article content

Tucker Carlson Just Made A Shocking Claim About Fox News, His Longtime Employer
Tucker Carlson has called out his former employer Fox News as 'anti-Christian' more than two years after the network fired him. When Carlson appeared on Sunday's episode of the 'Culture Apothecary' podcast, host Alex Clark asked how his wife, Susan Andrews, reacted to Fox suddenly axing his political talk show 'Tucker Carlson Tonight,' which ran from 2016 to 2023. Carlson shared that his wife was actually enthusiastic. In fact, he told Clark, Andrews thanked God upon hearing the news. 'No way,' Clark replied. 'Why'd she say that, you think?' The conservative pundit responded: 'She thought they were really anti-Christian.' Asked if he agreed with his wife, Carlson declared, 'Oh, of course. It just makes them uncomfortable.' The political commentator then claimed that someone at Fox News 'would be out of there' if they brought up a particular topic. 'If you said, on Fox — which I don't think I ever did, I probably should have — but like, 'Hey, how are the Christians of the West Bank doing?'' he said. He continued, 'How's Bethlehem doing, where Jesus was born? The church and the Nativity, it's got to be, if that's not the most sacred site in Christendom, I'm not sure what is ... Let's call the rector of the church and Nativity and ask him what he thinks of Israeli occupation.' Carlson added: 'Just as a Christian, I think it's totally fair. Whoa, I mean, you'd be out of there.' Watch Carlson's appearance on the 'Culture Apothecary' podcast below. His comments start at the 35:40 mark.
