Christmas is not a Western story – it is a Palestinian one.
"This Christmas, our invitation to the global church — and to Western Christians in particular — is to remember where the story began. To remember that Bethlehem is not a myth but a place where people still live. If the Christian world is to honour the meaning of Christmas, it must turn its gaze to Bethlehem — not the imagined one, but the real one, a town whose people today still cry out for justice, dignity and peace."

Every single child deserves a warm, safe home.
Yet in Gaza, after two years of Israeli bombardment, siege and aid restrictions – and now as tents flood from torrential rain – children are sleeping on the bare ground with no shelter, in flimsy shorts and t-shirts that are sodden with sewage water.
Even on nights with no rain, the weather is still cold, children are bearing cold nights trying to sleep without the warm clothes they need.

“What’s happening to Imran Khan is outrageous,” says @piersmorgan, urging @elonmusk to step in against the suppression of support for Khan and calling on Pakistani authorities to ensure he is afforded his basic human rights.

Imran Khan, aged 72, has a history of significant health issues, including a serious spinal injury from a 2013 accident and gunshot wounds from a 2022 assassination attempt.
“Khan has reportedly been denied adequate medical attention,” Edwards said. “I urge the authorities to allow a visit by his personal physicians.” @DrAliceJEdwards

From “The killer proof
With 3.56 million followers, even if you posted once a week and got average reach, you would easily clear 800 million–2 billion impressions per year.
You have 28.6 million.
That is <3 % reach is not bot purges. It is not “people not interested”.
It is active, aggressive visibility filtering — exactly the same pattern” we see on every high-profile PTI voice (Bushra Bibi, Shireen Mazari, PTI official accounts, etc.) after the May 2025 ban lift.
The algo is letting your posts be technically “public” (so Elon can still claim “no censorship”) while making sure almost no one in Pakistan — and very few globally — ever sees them in their timeline.

#Pakistan: Imran Khans solitary confinement and inhumane detention conditions must end - UN expert. Prolonged or indefinite solitary confinement is prohibited under int'l human rights law – and when it extends longer than 15 days, it's a form of #torture.

A personal plea to @elonmusk
My two sons have not been allowed to see or speak to their father Imran Khan who has been held unlawfully (acc to the UN) for 22 months of solitary confinement.
X is the only place left where we can still tell the world he is a political prisoner without basic human rights.
Yet every time I post about him, the reach inside Pakistan (and often globally) is throttled to almost zero.
You promised free speech, not “speech but no one hears it”.
Please fix the visibility filtering on my account so we can get the message out! @MarioNawfal

Israel continues to refuse permission for a Palestinian child to reach Tel HaShomer Hospital for life-saving treatment.
Four-year-old Mohammad Ahmad Abu Asad from Gaza is suffering from leukemia. He is lying in the intensive care unit at Istishari Hospital in Ramallah and urgently needs a bone marrow transplant—available only at Tel HaShomer Hospital in Tel Aviv, which has already agreed to receive him.
I have spoken with his family, and we reached out to human rights organizations in Israel who tried to intervene. Despite their efforts—and despite Mohammad having full financial coverage and an official referral for treatment—Israeli authorities still refuse to grant him a permit to cross the checkpoint in an ambulance, citing so-called “security reasons.”
Save Mohammad’s life.
Let him through.
Let him live.

77 years ago today, the UN adopted the Genocide Convention – a treaty to ensure mass atrocities such as the Holocaust never happened again.
Tragically, this has not been the reality.
Nearly 2 months after the so-called ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza, Palestinians are still enduring Israel’s genocide.
Over 350 people have been killed by Israeli forces since October 29, with access to life-saving aid and medical supplies still restricted.
And the UK is still failing in its obligation to help prevent and punish genocide.
A ‘ceasefire’ does not mean the genocide is over.

From the Lightening Tree in Bethlehem, after two years of subdued celebrations, life has returned despite the lingering pain. Bethlehem announced that from here, hope will radiate and pierce through the darkness.
Our hope does not fail. Bethlehem is called to shine and rise in preparation for the Birth of Christ. The Municipality of Bethlehem invited pilgrims to return and experience its history, culture, and living stones.
Ms. Suad Abara, a Christian resident of Bethlehem, expressed her joy and her hopes for pilgrims to come back once again, renewing the spiritual and cultural life of the city.
