On Christmas Day, the 25th of December 2023, anti-genocide activists showed up at the HOME of US Secretary of “Defense” Loyd Austin in Fairfax County, VA. Palestine’s Christian minority population is reported to facing outright extermination. This being the case, Bethehem churches have cancelled this year’s Christmas celebrations due to the war.

Given these conditions, activists deemed it inappropriate for Mr Loyd Austin to be able to celebrate Christmas in peace himself, since he is part of the reason others cannot.
