Caption basically stolen from a tweet by @_amroali

And here's a tweet from @MuntherIsaac, a Palestinian Evangelical Lutheran Pastor, regarding the picture

"Christmas in Palestine this year. The Child under the rubble. Immanuel God is with us in our pain and suffering. God in solidarity with the oppressed. The child of Bethlehem is our hope. For the children of Gaza and all victims of wars. At the Christmas Lutheran Church Bethlehem"

If i were a believer I would like to think that God is watching this unfolding and is making his judgements for the people involved in this unbelievably stupid war over where people should live in that particular piece of stony desert.

Was buying Christmas cards and was struck by cards with a Peace on Earth message on them and how that’s (sadly) a politically loaded message this year.
