Thousands of people have gathered in Bethlehem on Christmas Eve for the first public celebrations since 2022 after the city cancelled or muted festivities for two years out of respect for the thousands killed during Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

Families filled Manger Square in the occupied West Bank city as a giant Christmas tree returned to the plaza, replacing a nativity display used during the war that showed baby Jesus amid rubble and barbed wire, symbolising the devastation in Gaza.

The celebrations were led by Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the top Catholic leader in the Holy Land, who arrived in Bethlehem from Jerusalem in the traditional Christmas procession and called for “a Christmas full of light”

Scout bands from towns across the West Bank marched through Bethlehem’s streets, their bagpipes draped with tartan and Palestinian flags.

Since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, its forces have carried out near-daily raids across the West Bank, arresting thousands of Palestinians and sharply restricting movement between cities.

Palestinians say the intensified military presence, road closures and checkpoint delays have deterred visitors, paralysing the tourism sector on which Bethlehem’s economy depends.

The vast majority of those celebrating were local residents, with only a small number of foreign visitors.

Unemployment in Bethlehem surged from 14 percent to 65 percent during the genocidal war on Gaza, Mayor Maher Nicola Canawati said earlier this month. As economic conditions deteriorated, about 4,000 residents left the city in search of work, he added.

Israeli raids and settler attacks
The return of Christmas celebrations comes despite continued raids and large-scale military incursions across the occupied West Bank, even after a fragile ceasefire in Gaza, which has been repeatedly violated by Israeli forces, took hold in October.

The raids often entail mass arrests of Palestinians, home searches and demolitions, as well as physical assaults that sometimes lead to deaths.

Attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians have reached their highest level since the United Nations humanitarian office began recording data in 2006. The attacks have involved killings, beatings and the destruction of property, often under the protection of the Israeli military.

Earlier on Wednesday, more than 570 Israeli settlers entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem under police protection, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Palestinians say such incursions violate the longstanding status quo governing Islam’s third-holiest site.

Israel’s security cabinet has also signed off on plans to formalise 19 illegal settlements across the West Bank, in a move Palestinian officials say deepens a decades-long project of land theft and demographic engineering.

The United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and other countries condemned the move on Wednesday.

“We call ‍on ⁠Israel to reverse this decision, as well as the expansion of settlements,” said a joint statement released by the UK, Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain.

“We ‌recall that such unilateral actions, ‌as part ⁠of a wider intensification of the settlement policies in the West Bank, ‌not only violate international law but also risk fuelling instability.”

Same as the arabs you guys worship.


They see you as literal slaves that are beneath them just as the Northern muslims see Yoruba Muslims as slaves that are beneath them.


That being said, those are Palestine terrorists masquerading as Christians.

It's all lies.. go to iltv to confirm, they are Arabs lunatics masquerading as xtians... e don cast already

You are destined for the deepest recess of hell.

To you, the only good christian are those who replaced Christ.worship with Judas.

As long as heaven, God and His Son, Christ are real, you will reap your punishment here on earth before you are returned to the depths of hell were you belong.

These are the real definition of Christians.

They are descended from the earliest Christians, are the true Israelite by blood and their version of Christianity hasn't been tainted by the Judeo-Masonic poison you subscribe to.

As long as they remain in Palestine, they are the ones keeping the Jewish god, Satan from revealing himself .

The day every single Christian is killed or forced out of Palestine that is the day Satan will appear and annoint his spawn as ruler of the earth.

These are the people keeping the gates of hell closed.

Just save your energy for better things.

They are those whom the Bible said can not be saved.


Even if Christ comes down from Heaven they will crucify Him.again.

And to.think all this started with the lie that their leaders under Azikiwe introduced on them that they are lost Jews .

Everything they believe in is a.lie rooted on the foundation of lies.

Yes they are terrorists...

Terrorizing the synagogue of Satan with the symbol and rembrenxe that Christ is alive and is King.

The entire premise of modern Judaism which is a new religion formed by converts claiming Jews is to see to the end of Christianity and the blotting out of the name of Christ .

Jews are forbidden by their rabbis to never mention Christ name and to curse Christians three times daily .

Jews are also expected to spit on churches and Christians

This Christmas is the most miserable day of the year for Jews because its a reminder that Christ is still being celebrated 2,000 us after they thought they murdered Him.

There is no other religion that exists to spite another like Judaism is to Christianity .

The real Antichrist is Modern day Judaism .

I am.comforted that today, many Jews will be reaching peak neurotic breakdown that Christ is still being celebrated and worshipped.

Even in occupied Palestine, despite all the genocide on Christians there, Jews are still being surrounded by Christian villages and settlements that date back as far as 150 AD.

I wonder if those AIPAC bought and Mossad blackmailed swamp.cretins in Washington will be ready to condemn this open persecution of Christians by their greatest ally.

Maybe that oranguntan , Zion Don will condemn this assault on Christians by his Jewish masters.

Don't count on it.

This are the same people that gullible Nigerian Christians are supporting. 😂


Merry Christmas to everyone. 🎄

Just leave them.

Misleading topic by the OP, anyways, All these ones are Hamas terrorists pretending to be Christians. The moment I saw the Palestinian flag, I knew it was them. Israel is familiar with their games. Liars and propagandists.

The same Israel one fake Chosen pastor here is always praying to their God?

Your response shows your limited knowledge of the topic at hand.

If you are a Christian, it's even more worrying but I would tell you to better go to your forefathers religion than the foreign religion you don't even know about before you go and throw stone in the market square on your brother.

Edit: my comment is not only to you but many ignorant Nigerians who don't even know that Palestine has Christians or it is where Jesus was born. Una de carry religion where una no even sabi the history and birth place of your saviour 🤡
