Bethlehem pastor’s Christmas message: ‘If you fail to call this a genocide, this is on you’

Palestinian Christian pastor Munther Isaac delivered a sermon on Christmas eve condemning those "complicit in Gaza genocide".
Isaac said that this year, Christ was "under the rubble" because of the bombings in Gaza, while Israeli forces persisted in conducting raids throughout the occupied West Bank, including in Jenin.
Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem, revered as the birthplace of Jesus, was cancelled as Israel continues to bombard Gaza for the third month.

[@quinn3301]

As for actions that average citizens can do: - If you live in the USA, you can contact your representatives in the senate and congress and ask them to call for a ceasefire. I don't know what the equivalent of this would be in other countries, but if possible, talking with any of the politicians about it could help. - People with social media accounts can follow the accounts of Palestinian Journalists who are video taping what is happening, or post your own content calling for a ceasefire. - This is probably the most important and difficult thing that we could all do: talk with the people in our community about what is happening. If you anyone who is close to you who doesn't know what is happening or who seems to not care, you could try to talk with them and convince them that it is wrong. - If able, join protests and groups who are organizing. Try boycotting specific brands like Puma, HP, Disney, etc.

My heart, mind and prayers are with Innocent Gazans and the other oppressed Palestinians .

[@robertriteman3227]

The Palestinians deserve the same compassion they showed to Israelis and Jews on October 7th and continue to show by keeping the hostages taken on October 7th. Indeed, the Palestinians have admitted that the USA was telling the truth that it was their decision to stop exchanging hostages for a continuation of the ceasefire and this week they again rejected returning hostages for a ceasefire. For 3 months the Palestinians have demonstrated they do not love their women or children but prefer to keep the hostages taken on October 7th . Israel does not have to prioritize the safety of the Palestinians more than its duty to create the best conditions for its own soldiers and so it should continue to level every space in Gaza in order to ensure that there is no place that the terrorists and militants can find shelter or cover. It is the Palestinians who can change their fate by agreeing to return every single hostage taken on October 7th in return for a ceasefire.

[@ruthpicon2203]
