I and my family will be among those Christians who celebrate the births…and mourn the deaths…of every Palestinian child in Gaza. Not to mention the gentle men and strong women who have lived and died there too. Surely we will not be alone? But if we are, so be it. We are determined to stay true to our hearts, which are laid open by this g3n0cide and will never recover, and to Jesus, who sides with the oppressed and vulnerable, the orphans, limbless and traumatized children, and parents who have had to bury their families after digging them out of the rubble with bare hands. ❤️🔥🕊️🇵🇸
"I wish every one of you a peaceful, harmonious Christmas filled with light and love!" Maybe the murders in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon and the West Bank will stop and that will light up the world. If only.
The dead Palestinian children of Gaza and baby Jesus, and those who killed them both, all comes together in Matthew 27:25 “… let their blood be on our hands and on the hands of our children”

We can only hope!

Such a sad and horrible state of the world as we celebrate this season. Thanks for this true and searing poem, Diane.
The Day of the Holy Innocents takes on a whole new meaning, doesn't it?
Merry Christmas to you Diane. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you! And same to you!
