Maan News (via Elder of Zion) reports that Father Manuel Musallam cancelled Christmas services at Gaza's only Catholic church:
in protest of the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip and most recent "Israeli threats and escalations" there, according to the church's priest . . . .
"The Midnight Mass will be replaced with a silent gathering at the Holy Family School,” he said.
Take this with a big grain of salt. This is the same Father Musallam who was literally strong-armed into an uncomfortable Hamas photo-op a year ago.
As fundamentalist Islamic law grips Gaza tighter and tighter (see latest penal code amendments), Father Musallam and his flock know which way the winds are blowing and are learning to behave like the low-key dhimmis Hamas expects them to be.
