Our Man in Tel-Aviv, Sylvain Ubersfeld, is moving back to France. This is his last column from Israel. Here, a visit to Bethlehem, and a matter of compassion and common decency. Bethlehem is a medium-size Arab town located just on the border with Jerusalem. The translation of the city’s name, both in Arabic and Hebrew (the two languages are very similar) literally means "The House of the Bread."
