Jerusalem, The heads of the main Christian denominations in Jerusalem have issued a joint Christmas message asking their faithful to pray especially for children and young people in the Holy Land so they can overcome “all evil and hatred”. In their message they thanked their Christian brothers and sisters across the world for expressing solidarity with them.

“However the way to go is still long in order to come to the end of all oppression and violence, in order to suspend the building of the Wall, to stop killing taking prisoners and end the occupation,” the clerics said in their yearly Christmas message.
