The Two Souls of Christmas
In his Christmas Message the Archbishop of Canterbury spoke of the skies above Bethlehem being full of fear, while King Charles talked of shared values in a time of conflict and the Pope referred to the futile logic of war.
Some fine words were spoken, along with others that could and will be criticised no doubt.
Meanwhile Benjamin Netanyahu made an appearance in Gaza on Christmas Day to promise more months of death and destruction.
The gap between what might be seen as the two souls of Christmas is yawning and the gap exists because countries like the US and the UK continue to give Netanyahu the green light.
Growing protests from below around the world calling for Palestinian political rights are the key to stopping this and to turning those Christmas sentiments of the Archbishop, the Pope and the King to something that has an impact on reality
