Text on back of card:

The people of Bethlehem are asking for our help.

Towering walls and militarized fences now encircle Bethlehem, turning the 4,000-year-old city into a virtual prison for its Palestinian Christian and Muslim citizens. Bethlehem has only three gates to the outside world, all tightly controlled by Israeli occupation forces.

Israel has confiscated almost all the agricultural land in the area for illegal settlements, making it impossible for many Palestinian farmers to continue tending their land. Outside the town, the fields where shepherds once watched their flocks are being filled by Israeli housing blocs and roads, all barred to those shepherds; descendants.

“It is unconscionable that Bethlehem should be allowed to die slowly from strangulation,” says South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Though most Americans don’t know it, we are directly involved in Israel’s strangulation of Bethlehem; Americans give Israel over $10 million per day. In its over 70 years of existence, Israel has received more US tax money than any other nation.

In the spirit of peace of Earth and goodwill towards men, it is time to reconsider an expenditure that perpetuates injustice, violence, and conflict.
