After all. Jesus was a dark skinned Jewish man. Why would they want to celebrate his birth over 2,000 years ago?
The festivities and feasting are cancelled when over half of Gaza is being starved. Christmas itself, prayers, and hope that peace comes as Christ calls for is not. Listen to what the priests have said and not the title.
Bethlehem is on the West Bank and they are not starving.
So It seems like perhaps you just don’t understand any of the words in the title, let’s see if we can help!
Christmas is a Christian holiday often celebrated with feasts, singing, and calls for peace on earth and goodwill towards others.
Festivities are celebratory events and activities, typically characterized by joviality and shared happiness.
Solidarity is being United in your feelings, actions, and condition with someone else who might be in a different situation but shares some of your feelings, actions, and circumstances.
Bethlehem is the location where Christians believe their Messiah was born.
Gaza is a small region in the Middle East being ethnically cleansed by Israel.
Putting it all together the title reads:
Town where Christian God was born cancels celebratory activities in favor of showing support for the feelings and conditions of the victims of genocide in Gaza.
