Bethlehem

A Palestinian city in the West Bank with a vibrant history. Bethlehem is considered by many to be the birthplace of Jesus. It has been home to one of the largest Christian communities in the Arab World for centuries and is a popular spot of tourism. In Arabic Bethlehem is بيت لحم (BAYT LA-hem) and means "city of meat" or "city of bread". It has been under the rule of the Palestinian Authority since 1995, however the city remains vulnerable to increasing Israeli settlements as well as the separation wall Israel is building.

According to the International Court of Justice, Bethlehem is in Palestine not in Israel, so please stop saying Bethlehem is in Israel when it's not. Study the United Nations Charter and Geneva Convention if you think otherwise.

Samira went to Bethlehem this Christmas to pray in the Church of the Nativity and see her family. Unfortunately, the Israeli soldiers would not let her pass through the checkpoint, so she had to leave two weeks early.

Bethlehem

1. An ex-Steel town in PA.
2. A giant joke in the Lehigh Valley, only losing to Easton for the title of BIGGEST JOKE EVER.
3. Home of that giant pile of rust formerly known as Bethlehem Steel, which is now continuing to pollute the town. Gangs ofter hang out there that wear pink and tie-dye t-shirts.

Person 1: Bethlehem fails at life! Nothing to do here!
Person 2: Let's go loiter at the Steel!

Bethlehem PA

The north side of this city is alright, as the people there are ok. But the south side is another story, as the people there act as if they are in GTA, basically it's the ghetto.

Someone from the north side will say: hey how's it going.
Someone from the south side will say: wuddup my n1ggas. Y'all wanna get some of that good sh1t? Coke? Weed? Whatever you want, we got it for the str8 up ballers.

Bethlehem PA is an ok city where the grass is greener

Bethlehem, PA

Bethlehem, PA better known to Lehigh Students is Sketchlehem, methlehem, or deatlehem is one of the least exciting downs in Pennsylvania. Home to Lehigh University and Sands Casino, there are a few safe havens in the area, but the second you step a block away from these locations you are in the heart of gang land. Feel free to take a walk down east 3rd street, but don't forget your pepper spray - which you can pick up at a pepper spray store on the north side. In the end, Lehigh University has a beautiful campus, great students, great university police, but I do not recommend you venture off campus. Otherwise be prepared to encounter townies.

Hey man, are you going to Lehigh next year?
Yea dude, in Bethlehem, PA.
Oh man, watch out for those townies, I heard sketchlehem can get pretty weird at night.
Thanks! I will be sure to keep an eye out.
