I don’t wanna make ppl feel guilty for celebrating Christmas but I think how crazy it is that so many American Christians r pro israel and go on “pilgrimage” to occupied palestine and palestinian Christians living in the birth country of Christianity have refused to do celebrations in the midst of the genocide
Most Christians in America don’t know Bethlehem is an occupied city and it’s people struggle against empire as Jesus did. It’s not a mythical city it’s a real home to the descendants of the first Christians who are refusing to celebrate. At least the pope is saying something that’s probably turning the heads of catholics who’ve both sided this and who never really thought about palestine
