‘NEWly released Gaza Christmas card ‘Silent Night’‘ 

This Christmas send a message in more ways than one. Your Christmas greeting to family and friends can double as awareness raising about the situation in Palestine.

Wording on the back of Silent Night:

“Sounds of relentless fighter planes unloading their deadly deluge with constant drones flying overhead…the night is not silent in Gaza.
Rumbling stomachs deliberately starved of food…the night is not silent in Gaza.
Cries of traumatised children woken from a nightmare only to realise they are still living that nightmare…the night is not silent in Gaza. 
Wounds unattended, people withering in pain as one hospital after another is closed due to damage or deprived of supplies…the night is not silent in Gaza. 
The cries of the innocent lamenting how they remain unseen by world leaders…the night is not silent in Gaza.
At this Christmas time, when the message of peace on earth is echoed, a peace dove gathers up and cradles the rubble that entombs those whose night will forever now be silent. In their memory please don’t remain silent.”

‘palestine: a land with a people‘ 

Australian Palestinian Randa shares her family’s story.

“Out of God’s sovereignty I believe that good will come out of all this. God knows what is going on and he will bring about a just peace and something good, even if we as human beings can’t see it yet; and, even though Palestinians have been waiting for a very long time.“
