Christmas is canceled in Bethlehem because of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Y'know, for the sake of comparison.
Look, I’m personally pro-Palestine but don’t you think this is a bit much, dropping into a completely off topic conversation to bring it up?
Whatever. The phrase "Christmas is cancelled" forced me to remember the fact that Christmas is literally cancelled in Bethlehem, with the articles about it often directly saying the phrase "Christmas is cancelled"
I was struck by how petty and small this whiney video is when compared to places where Christmas is literally cancelled.
This. I assumed this video was a reference to the atrocities going on in the West Bank, the region which is where Christmas is about.
Okay, looked it up, have seen the articles now. Seems like the dumbest Christian-centric country’s media reporting I’ve seen in a while. Wake me up when Israel inevitably causes Eid al-Fitr to be cancelled again due to bombings.
Right? Crazy people says things like "we're going to kill all of you".
