Watch: Silent march replaces joyous Christmas parade in Bethlehem, calls for ceasefire in Gaza
Christmas festivities have been suspended in Jesus’s birthplace as Palestinian Christians mourn the ongoing violence in Gaza.
Who knew how the #Christmas parade used to take place in #Bethlehem? Children playing, music and joy. But how could we celebrate while our people are under attack? This is the Christmas parade in Bethlehem this year. #Palestine 🇵🇸 pic.twitter.com/RFzTMObiwS

We will not celebrate [Christmas]
But we will pray
Our prayers are our resistance #Christmas #Gaza #GazaMassacare#Gazagenocidepic.twitter.com/zhvZRA5zuV
"We the Palestinians will recover. We will stand up again from the midst of destruction, as we have always done as Palestinians...But for those who are complicit I feel sorry for you. Will you ever recover from this?"
