harassed

Spoke too soon - last night the harassment began. Muslim youths lined our church wall with fire-crackers (real large explosives) and exploded them one after another at 11pm when we were asleep. The first explosion woke us up and I thought they must have blown up our metal gates. Went out to check, then a series of other explosions all along our church wall went off.

Wonder what they're going to do next. It's going to be a long month of sleepless nights. Been told that muslims have similarly been harassing Christian families throughout the territory.

And if you think I'm paranoid, check this out http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1220526718100&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull There are literally thousands of soldiers in the Old City to prevent riots, as usually occurs on Friday Ramadan prayers.

You just have to be here to understand the situation.
