From the article:
"A church helper, who gave his name as Milad, said the quantity of food consumed by the gunmen in the first 15 days should have lasted for six months.
As they feasted and boozed, Palestinian civilians subsisted on a meager diet, with barely enough for a single meal a day.
Conditions improved somewhat for the civilian refuge seekers when the governor of Bethlehem intervened and partially succeeded in reallocating food supplies, priests and others witnesses said."
This is one of the nicer parts.
Notice that the Palestinian leader was able to go in and mange the food problem.That means the Israelis were not completely cutting the church off.
They name names, quote people who were there, and point out that the tee-totalling moslems dranks a heck of a lot of booze.
I think often times truth is better than propaganda. This is one of them.
