It starts with a Jewish guy who joined the demonstration in Al-Masara asking that the soldiers disobey orders and not join in oppressing the Palestinians.  Picture attached is of me in my red Christmas sweater  speaking to the same soldiers explaining how they are committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.  In addition to the usual struggles against the occupation, we did have celebrations.  The video shows the lighting of the Christmas Tree, home parties, and 3 nights of activities for everyone (Muslims, Christians, Internationals, locals, children adults) and with a theme of support for Jerusalem.  We called it the Shepherds&#8217; Nights.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Christmas 2009 in Bethlehem\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lbTTx6T54mM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Related<\/em>:<br \/>\n<strong>Stuart Littlewood: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redress.cc\/global\/slittlewood20091223\">Relax, Holy Father.
