Israelis Demand $156M From Catholics

The folks in Jerusalem assert that Catholics owe them $156M in taxes for Church-owned properties surrounding the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

One would think that the Mayor of Jerusalem has more important concerns than to suddenly change the rules--which he has done--and attempt to squeeze the Church.

That's not a good way to impress one's allies.  Put another way, it's a very good way to create EX-friends.
