Naji Al-Ali once stated:
"Since my childhood, I've been influenced by the figure of Jesus, carrying a cross within me, and I have performed Hajj twice. Jesus represents a value of redemption to me, and I've drawn him many times, not because he was Palestinian, but because he was persecuted and defeated, yet a prophet. I depict him as a southern Lebanese or as a Palestinian from the refugee camps."
1. Jesus is Palestinian. Yearning for return, Jesus calls out to his home, Bethlehem, crucified under occupation (April 1982).
2. Christ, the symbol of endless suffering, strikes back against the zionist occupier. "The intifada of the West Bank and Gaza," created in December 1986 before the outbreak of the first intifada.
3. Jesus Christ, despite crucifixion, throws a stone in support of the intifada (April 1982).
4. Fatima, Naji's symbol of return, breaks out of the crucifix with the occupied Palestinian Christian city of Al-Nasira written above.
5. Duccio's Madonna and the Child reinterpreted; the crescent moon juxtaposed next to the cross signifies equal suffering of Palestinian Christians and Muslims.

For the first time, Bethlehem has not set up a Christmas tree in Manger Square. Instead, it was replaced with a model representing the damage inflicted on Gaza. Only religious ceremonies will take place in the birthplace of Jesus.
This symbolism depicts the suffering of the first Palestinian refugee family, who endured oppression and displacement, fleeing to Egypt after the birth of Jesus Christ. The scene displays the immense destruction and imperialist-backed genocide over decades, a scene words alone cannot describe.
The Virgin Mary is seen embracing Jesus in a way resembling the mothers of martyrs, while Joseph comforts her amidst their deep sorrow. The angels hanging around the rubble represent the souls of children, martyrs of repeated massacres throughout history, starting from the massacre of Bethlehem's children by Herod at the time of Jesus' birth, through various historical massacres by colonial entities against the Palestinian people and their ancestors, up to the present-day massacres in Gaza by the occupation.
This year, the Magi will not bring gold, frankincense, and myrrh, but a white shroud. The shepherd, forced to leave the manger, walks away carrying a bundle symbolizing Palestinian displacement. The completely destroyed house mimics the traditional form of Jesus Christ's manger, while the roof, depicted from an "overhead view," is in the shape of the Gaza Strip. This time, it has been bombed, and its shattered roof forms a star from which light is emitted, inspired by the Star of Bethlehem. This light represents a message of great hope despite immense sorrow.

This evening, the criminal "israeli" occupation committed a horrific massacre in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the center of the Gaza Strip by bombing several homes, claiming the lives of 68 of our people in a preliminary toll, in a new war crime extending the genocide it commits against children and unarmed civilians.
This treacherous and cowardly bombing against the secure in their homes is an attempt to refurbish the image of its defeated army, supported by President Biden's administration, the primary partner of the zionist entity in its criminality and fascist aggression.

The zionist massacre in Al-Maghazi camp, targeting the innocent, is a display of the zionist criminal machine against children, women, and the elderly, bombing the homes of the peaceful at a time when they evade strike after strike by our brave fighters in the Gaza Strip.
What happened in Al-Maghazi camp is a horrific crime that rises to the level of war crimes and adds to the criminal record of the occupation in the context of the ongoing genocide war that our people in the Strip, which is still steadfast for 80 consecutive days, are facing against the zionist aggression machine.

- These cowardly crimes in Al-Maghazi and the rest of the Gaza Strip are an expression of the state of helplessness and failure in the face of the continuous and escalating strikes of our fighters on the battlefield, and the enemy will not succeed in restoring the image of its defeated army through more crimes and terrorism against civilians.
