merry christmas

jesus was a palestinian jew

the birthplace of jesus, bethlehem, is being raided

lebanon was also bombed today

there were jews, muslims, and christians living together in peace in palestine before israel was established

there are still christians and churches in palestine

many israelis are violent and discriminatory towards christians

bethlehem cancelled christmas celebrations this year for the first time

about 10,000 children have been killed in gaza since october 7th

free palestine. ceasefire now
