Leeds Palestine Solidarity Campaign

Child Still in the Rubble

🕯️CHILD STILL IN THE RUBBLE - LEEDS MARCH FOR PALESTINE🇵🇸 ‘Christ in the Rubble’ is an installation that Reverend Munther Isaac displayed in his Bethlehem church in December 2023. He said “If Christ were to be born today, he would be born under the rubble and Israeli shelling.”Last year, and again this year, he has reproduced the same scene, titled ‘Christ is still in the rubble’. This spin on the traditional nativity scene is the reality that children and their families face in occupied Palestine, whilst the West gorges itself on mindless consumerism for the holidays. And yet, the Palestinian people continue to build their lives back up amidst 39 million tonnes of rubble, rubble in which the bodies of thousands of Palestinians still remain. Activists from our community have made their own ‘Child still in the rubble’ scene which they will display at Merrion Street Gardens, and push along in a trolley during the march. We will also be marching for the 8 young people who are on hunger strike for Palestine across UK prisons, so make sure you attend this Saturday prepared to amplify their demands as well. So, make sure to join us, this Saturday 20th December, 12:30pm at Merrion Street Gardens. For Palestine, for the children still in the rubble, and for our hunger strikers. 😷Mask wearing encouraged to protect disabled protestors. Accessibility information to be published soon. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
