[From Democracy Now!] "Christmas celebrations are canceled in the West Bank and the city of Bethlehem, Jesus Christ’s birthplace, for the second year in a row in response to Israel’s genocidal attack on Gaza and ethnic cleansing of the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

We feature an excerpt of the Christmas sermon of Reverend Munther Isaac of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem, titled “Christ Is Still in the Rubble,” referencing a sermon he gave at this time last year titled “Christ in the Rubble,” about the loss of Palestinian life to Israel’s assault of Gaza.

We also go to Bethlehem to speak with Reverend Isaac. He shares his message to the U.S. and the rest of the world. “Our fear here in Bethlehem is that there is no one who’s going to hold Israel accountable,” he says. “We’re tired and sick of these wars, which are enabled by American tax money and American politics.”

How can Evangelical Christians watch the degradation of Christianity in the Holy Land and the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank … and still support Israel so blindly? The Christian Bible is expressly against cruelty to our fellow humans. What kind of religion are they practicing that allows starvation of children? This has to stop! It makes all of humanity less human to sit by and watch it happen. Our leaders are complicit. Free the world, Free Palestine 🇵🇸

The "true believers" want to usher in Armageddon on their watch. They want to be the Raptured ones..

They can get the first one, to all of the rest of us' great detriment, but they sure aren't getting the second.
