I was going to write about the Three Wise Men from the Christmas story – but there are four of them in this tale, and none of them seem to be wise, so I’d better begin again.

Four Church leaders from England, ignoring the suffering of their fellow Christians in so many parts of the world, rush to give solace to the Arabs of the Holy Land, most of whom are Muslims oppressing Christians

Melanie Phillips smells an anti-Semitic rat here.

If you want to follow their adventures, as they follow the star and go to find the birthplace of a false god called ‘the Palestinians’, they offer us a blog. (Note the links – the BBC Israel and Palestinian territories Profile, Patriarchate of Jerusalem, etc. Not exactly unbiased.)

Already the Archbishop of Canterbury has been shocked by the 'wall'.

Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was visibly shocked yesterday as he encountered the 30ft high security wall built by Israel around Bethlehem when he led a pilgrimage of British Church leaders to the birthplace of Christ.
