AEI-Open Windows: The Living Star

At Friday 21 December, some hundreds of inhabitants living in Bethlehem, as well as visiting internationals, held a vigil in the form of a living star next to the Wall at Rachel's Tomb. In a cold but clear evening, they came out to bring out a message of peace and solidarity in opposition to the Wall with its message of division and expropriation.

Several buses transported the participants to Rachel's Tomb. On a large star made of plywood, they took position on the outer lines of the star, walked on it and sang Christmas, peace and national songs.

AEI-Open Windows has established a sumud peace house at the Wall near Rachel's Tomb to develop activities in the community and to conduct advocacy about the illegality of the Wall.
