This Christmas, here are seven things Palestinian Christians need you to know No, they aren’t recent converts and, yes, they worship Allah too

Last week, Israeli forces indiscriminately fired live ammunition at a Palestinian family. Today, Mohammed died from his injuries, while his father remains in critical condition.

Mohammad Tamimi, age 2, and his father Haitham Tamimi, were sitting in a parked car outside of their home in Nabi Saleh. The Israeli military critically injured them both, including shooting Mohammad in the head.

Mohammad is the 27th Palestinian child killed by the Israeli military in the first half of 2023. And his murderer will likely not be held accountable because the Israeli military rarely is.

This horrific and cruel tragedy is daily life in Palestine, where Israeli soldiers murder Palestinians with the full protection and backing of the Israeli state.

Ayad Abu Eqtaish of Defense for Children International - Palestine explains, “Unlawful killings of Palestinian children have become the norm as Israeli forces become increasingly empowered to use intentional lethal force in situations that are not justified. This is a war crime with no consequence.”

How many more Palestinian children will the Israeli military murder before the US stops funding it? Before consumers boycott Israeli products, before institutions pull their Israeli investment, and before companies stop doing business in Israel?

To protect Palestinian children, the US must stop funding the Israeli military that murders without consequence.

Rest in peace and power, Mohammad.
