Christmas Alert 2023 - English
Kairos Palestine is pleased to announce the Easter Alert 2023!
"We believe that our land has a universal mission. In this universality, the meaning of the promises, of the land, of the election, of the people of God open up to include all of humanity, starting from all the peoples of this land. In light of the teachings of the Holy Bible, the promise of the land has never been a political programme, but rather the prelude to complete universal salvation. It was the initiation of the fulfilment of the Kingdom of God on earth."

Easter Blessings! Thank you for accompanying us in this journey to the cross. The purpose of the annual Kairos alert is to shed light on the reality on the ground and provide a Christian commentary and analysis to this reality. Indeed, you have heard from voices on the ground and international activists on what it means to live as Palestinians and Palestinian Christians under systemic injustice and discrimination. Whether we talk about political pressure, collective punishment, restriction of movement, or the denial of entry to holy sites, it all points to the severity of the situation.

Kairos Palestine, together with various Palestinian civil society organizations, is producing this booklet as part of the preparations and promise of Advent. In this booklet, we will once again focus on Bethlehem and some of the problems its inhabitants face today:
On the 1st Advent Sunday: We will shed light on the refugees and refugee camps in Bethlehem.
On the 2nd Advent Sunday: We will focus on the plight of Palestinian prisoners, both children and adults.
On the 3rd Advent Sunday: We will address one of the major difficulties and injustices facing many Palestinian families: the divisions afflicting individual families due to obstacles imposed by the Israeli state. These obstacles that prevent families from being unified and living together violate a basic human right.
On the 4th Advent Sunday: We will talk about the main cause that pushes Palestinians to leave their country: namely, settler violence against them, their properties, their land, and their trees.

This alert focuses on Palestinian Christians who are concentrated in an area referred to as the Christian triangle: Bethlehem, Beit Jala, and Beit Sahour. This area is being strangled – in terms of access to land, water, health services, education, general mobility, and all related rights –by the unabated wave of settlement construction. Moreover, the forcible isolation of the triangle with its center, Jerusalem, is damaging both to people in Jerusalem and in the Bethlehem area. The facts on the ground are bleak. Land confiscation, as well as the influx of Israeli settlers, suggest that there will be no future for Palestinians (whether Christian or Muslim) in the triangle area. In this sense, the prospect of a clear “solution” grows darker every day.
