朝圣者涌入西岸城市伯利恒欢庆圣诞
她说:“看到了我在圣经中读到过的这个地方,让我感到喜悦。耶稣基督的出生地给人无限美好的感觉,给我带来的是一种满足感。”
For Palestinian Christians, like Noel Yaakoub Yasser, the holiday is bittersweet.
对巴勒斯坦的基督徒来说,圣诞节的到来让他们感到又喜又忧。
“I feel so happy. I love to be here on Christmas,” said Yasser.
基督徒诺埃尔.亚瑟说:“我感到喜悦,我喜欢在圣诞节到这里庆祝。”
But Bethlehem is surrounded by Israel’s separation barrier, which was built about eight years ago after a wave of Palestinian suicide bombings. Yasser said the wall is collective punishment.
但是伯利恒被以色列的隔离墙包围着,这些高高的围墙是大约8年前修建的,之前发生了一波巴勒斯坦人制造的自杀式炸弹攻击。亚瑟说,这些高墙是对集体的惩罚。
“What can we do? They built the wall and nobody can stop them. It feels like a prison,” said Yasser.
他说:“我们怎么办?他们筑起这些高墙,没人能阻挡他们。让人感觉好像是座监狱。”
Bethlehem Mayor Victor Betarseh said he hopes that Christmas next year will be celebrated in an independent Palestinian state.
伯利恒市长维克多.巴塔尔萨说,他希望明年的圣诞庆祝活动在一个独立的巴勒斯坦国内举行。
