Earlier today, Snapshots drew attention to a section on the website of Bethlehem University, a Catholic-run school located in the West Bank that denied the legitimacy of Israel by describing Israeli cities as “Palestinian Occupied Territory.”

Fortunately, the offending passage has been removed by officials at the school.

CAMERA lauds the school for doing the right thing with such alacrity.
