"Miracle Baby" Draws Thousands to Bethlehem
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Ala Ayyad was born three weeks ago on the 27th day of Ramadan, the night the Koran was revealed to Muhammad by God. Thousands of Palestinians have been thronging the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem to pay their respects to the infant boy, who is being hailed as "the miracle baby of Bethlehem." The child has a large birthmark across his cheek, which spells out in clear Arabic letters the name of his uncle, Ala, a Hamas member who was killed by the IDF eight months ago. The family said they would raise the baby to follow in his uncle's footsteps and lead a new generation of terrorists to fight against Israel.
