Abstract

For centuries Easter in Palestine has been a special familial and communal celebration that commemorated the passion of the Christ, his crucifixion, and his triumphant resurrection.

Not unlike Christ’s times when Pharisees and Sadducees shrieked their hateful rhetoric, today’s Easter celebrations in Palestine are marred by Zionist hatred, apartheid, vengeance, brutality, corruption, militarism, a rabidly virulent racism, and a lethal virus called Israeli occupation.
