The fake news media narrative circulating the past few days goes something like this: President Donald [Trump]’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital set off an “eruption of violence,” thus dampening the mood in Bethlehem and keeping tourists this Christmas season from one of the holiest cities in Christianity.
