The Bethlehem Campaign - Christmas 2006
With the coming Christmas season we would like to ask you to please raise the issue of the strangulation of the town of Bethlehem around you.
As you will see from the information below, the occupation and siege imposed by Israel on Bethlehem has devastating effects on all Palestinians living in that area.
It is extremely important that we raise this issue now, as millions around the UK will be celebrating the nativity and with the imminent visit of Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor and the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Holy Land.
What you can do: Write to your local church, using the information below, to highlight the situation in the Holy Land today. Leaflet your church, organise meetings, talk to your local church leaders, and ask them to bring the issue to the attention of the congregation. Fill in the survey in The tablet about the Holy Land: http://www.thetablet.co.uk/issues/1000025/ Come to the PSC “Voices for Bethlehem” carols concert on the 14th December in London: http://www.palestinecampaign.org/events.asp?d=y&id=2016 Leaflet audiences of the film about Joseph and Mary’s trip to Bethlehem released UK wide 8th December about Bethlehem in 2006.
