No Merry Christmas

By Anthony Dias SJ

 

Jesus the Jew

Like him before, only a few

Born to a woman

Unblemished

Of origin humble

From the region of Palestine

His birth unique

Foretold

By the prophets of yore

His message

Of all-embracing peace and love

To all women and men of goodwill

Lay at its core

The modern Jewish nation cites

Ancient Biblical quotation

Willfully and cynically

To justify a prolonged

Unjust and hostile

Occupation

Of land

And precious sites

Under great provocation

Continues to subjugate and harass

An entire population

In an open-air incarceration

Waiting expectantly

For the Birth

Of their very own nation

What will this Christmas bring?

To the people of this region?

In the midst of pain and sorrow

Brought about

By a raging war

Using deadly weapons

Abounding in attrition

And deception

Bruised, battered

Hundreds held hostage

Thousands murdered

Where even innocent little children

Mercilessly slaughtered

But the state of arrogance

Of the supreme leader

Of the Jewish nation

Wedded to Zionism

To a supremacist ideology

Engaged in Apartheid and Segregation

And Ruthless a Genocide

Has blood of the innocents

On his hands

Continues with subterfuge and lies

And with Western allies

By his side

Cares a damn

About Human Rights

And Laws and International Conventions

Come on, let’s end this war

It gone too far

Let us unite

With other women and men

With seers and sages

From all nations

To condemn

Terrorism

Of all hues

Espoused by individuals, groups and nations

And wage peace

Re-dedicate ourselves to Satyagraha

Truth and Non-violence

Espoused by Gandhi, Luther and Mandela

Inspired by the ‘King of the Jews’

Born in Bethlehem

When will Christmas come to Bethlehem and Palestine?

Please, No more Strife and Hatred, No more War, No Weapons!
