What's happening in Gaza is now almost entirely absent from the top international headlines. But Israel is still killing Palestinians and their babies are freezing to death. We can't afford to stop talking about that.
I grew up as a Palestinian Christian in Palestine. I was beaten dozens of times by the Israeli military simply for being Palestinian, and on one occasion I was arrested for attempting to go to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
