The Israeli Apartheid Wall encircling the Palestinian city of Bethlehem
Dear Friends;
On behalf of the Interfaith Community for Palestinian Rights, best wishes to all for a merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, and peace for the world!
Below is a compilation of some selected videos and articles relating to Christmas and Christians in Palestine. I hope you may find them useful in raising awareness.
Please also see and respond to the action alert pertaining to Neiman Marcus labeling Bethlehem products as 'Made in Israel.'
Our next meeting is on January 12th at Westminster Presbyterian Church; we hope to see you there!
Onwards for Palestine!
