More violence after Christmas

Family lighting candles at
the Grotto of the Nativity
A whole series of violent tit-for-tats yesterday. A jewish car was firebombed near Samaria and a little girl inside the car was badly injured. Back in East Jerusalem, 8 arab cars were damaged overnight. Israeli navy then fires at Palestinian fishing boats, an arab then steals a truck to ram into a police car ... it's a vicious cycle.

And the weather is warming up.

Let's hope things will calm down. Not a nice way to start the new year with violence all round. But it has been like that for the past few years. Maybe all the prayers at the Nativity Grotto in Bethlehem will be heard and we enjoy some peace at last.
