(BETHLEHEM) - Below is a program of selected activities in the Bethlehem area starting tomorrow and over the Holidays (your participation if around would be appreciated). I also included a link to the best and most detailed account of the colonial destruction in the Bethlehem area. The district of Bethlehem was burdened with over 45,000 refugees denied their inalienable rights to return to their homes and lands from which they were removed in 1948. Israeli colonial settlement activity since 1967 meant that 180,000 Bethlehemites have access to only 13% of the original district size. And since 2002, Jerusalem was isolated from Bethlehem which resulted in the destruction of the economy of both metropolitan areas for their native people. Contrary to the Fourth Geneva Convention, Israel continues to expand colonial settlements and has recently approved thousands of Jewish only homes to be built on Palestinian lands of Bethlehem. We native Christian and Muslim Palestinians remember that Jesus, the Aramaic speaking Palestinian born in this town spoke truth to powers and asked us to be a "light unto the world". Join us in working for Peace and Justice this Christmas and the New Year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to ALL Cartoons for Christmas showing what Palestinians (Christians and Muslims) are thinking about _________________________________

Looking at that "amazing" slide show reminds me of coming out of a bar late on a Friday night lol! You do realize you have pictures of that church as well...from the outside? But I would advise anyone who is heading out to that part of the world to check it out at dusk. It has an amazing aura and feeling being there (it feels like that’s where life started almost). It's not a busy time (the reason for this is because border control are far stricter in those hours, and no one wants to go through that "round up the sheep through a scientific rat maze..barb wire included" when traveling over there). It is an extremely magical place. Just ignore the rather boisterous kids that are not the most friendliest in the world.. more so due to being rather suspicious of foreign visitors (and rightly so)
Editor: Nice work Dexter, the photos are stunning!
