“Christmas has been shot.”
“O ghostly town of Bethlehem,
in curfew do you lie,
Your streets are dead, the people dread
to wander lest they die.
No pilgrims visit your hallowed square,
for Christians have been banned;
A crueller plight upon this night,
has never on Earth been planned.”
–from Carols for Palestine—
Bethlehem is a prison…
Bethlehem Christians cling to hope…
