One netizen said!CHRISTMAS CANCELLED! in Bethlehem Palestine
The Birthplace of Jesus (may the peace and blessings of God be upon him)
This is the nativity scene that they chose this year at a Church in Bethlehem (Bayt Lahm) in solidarity with the Palestinians, symbolising the suffering of the Children in Gaza.
Baby Jesus is wrapped in the traditional Keffiyeh and placed amongst the debris and rubble, representing the thousands of children still buried under the rubble in Gaza.
Another netizen said They cancelled Christmas in Bethlehem - the birth place of Jesus (Essa) (AS), in respect for what is happening to the Palestinians in Gaza. What gives you the right to celebrate this year?
