Rally: This Christmas: No peace on Earth in occupied Bethlehem, speakout for Palestine.

Saturday, December 10, 2011 - 11:30

As part of the occupied Palestinian territories, the 170,000 residents of Bethlehem and its surrounding district (both Christian and Muslim) suffer each day under the brutal and illegal Israeli occupation. In Bethlehem, there is no freedom of movement, there are checkpoints and curfews and there are constant invasions by the Israeli military. In addition, there is an ugly concrete wall, 8 metres high (three times the height of the Berlin Wall) topped with watchtowers and snipers nests which is dividing families and communities, stealing land and water resources. We will be seeking to highlight the BDS campaign asking people not to buy Israeli apartheid for Christmas. We will also be performing pro-Palestine Christmas carols.
