This Christmas I am thinking about Palestinian Christians - who make up the oldest Christian community in the world.
Palestinian Christians, like Palestinians of other faiths, were also dispossessed of their homes and lands during the Nakba and experience the brutality of the occupation just as much as any other Palestinian does. Pilgrimages to occupied Palestine frequently ignore the entire existence of Palestinian Christians - who are routinely barred from visiting their own holy and ancestral sites.
Shireen Abu Akleh, an Al Jazeera reporter who was assassinated by Israel while covering an IOF raid on Jenin, was a Palestinian Christian. Edward Said, the author of Orientalism, was raised Christian from a Palestinian Christian family.
Palestine is not a Muslim cause, itβs not even an Arab cause, and itβs not a religious conflict - Free Palestine is a cause for all Palestinians against colonialism, including Palestinian Christians. Merry Christmas to Palestinian Christians.

Christianity is actually really cool
I just got done binging Wendigoon's old series on Dante's Divine Comedy, and I have to say, it really gave me an appreciation for just how awesome Christian writings, and by extent the bible really are. It's so hard to appreciate the cool aspects of Christianity these days because so many people in Gen Z associate it with right-wing politics and annoying preachers. It's much easier when you are allowed to take in these ideas without people pressuring you to believe a certain thing about it.
And sure, there are still many ideas I disagree with, but the ideals of virtue in helping others and the way it's explained in the Christian cannon are really inspiring to me. The reputation of Christianity would be so much better with secular people if there were more Christians willing to explain Christianity in a manner that wasn't so pushy and judgmental.
Anyways, I just felt inspired to write this post and put my thoughts out there. Check out Wendigoons videos on Dante's Divine Comedy if you ever get the chance.
funny, that after all this time people still write our names next to each other
Like some sick fate tied them together forever;
Like God laughs down at me
