Merry Christmas, War is Over

Whited Sepulchers

"So this is Christmas and what have you done?" The famous words of John Lennon’s Merry Christmas, War is Over. A great hypocracy in the eyes of Iraqi’s, as we imagine the butchers of babies; Mr. Bush and Blair, sitting down with their families around a Christmas tree, opening gifts and eating their Christmas dinner.


For the Iraqi people, like all Arabs, Christmas day is the day, that represents the birth of the great prophet and radical Jesus Christ. The man who opposed the Roman occupation of Palestine and whose ancestors originated from the land between the two rivers.

It is only 2,000 years since that day and on the eve of this Eastern Eid in 2006, our region lies on the brink of a Western imposed civil war, a war which has been brought to the borders of Iraq, on the backs of US and UK tanks, by invading a country after thirteen years of crippling sanctions.

Division after division, appears to have arisen as a result of those who are seeking to exploit the economic and political crisis, which has swept through Iraq since occupying troops landed in 2003. Our lives have become pawns in the imperial game of US/UK hegemony, whose own internal crises have branded the people of God as "terrorists", "insurgents" and indeed strangers on their own land.

This has been witnessed by the atrocities at the hands of the illegal occupation and their "False Prophets" in the besieged green zone, who have attached the false labels onto our breasts and now define us by the words Shia, Sunni, Christian and Jew.

The dire consequences of this is already resulting with husbands and wives being forced to divorce as a result of one being "Shia" and the other " Sunni". Schools now sit empty, absent are the echoes of children’s voices asking questions to their teachers, whose answers are stifled by government backed militias.

Iraqi women have now become prisoners of the home, as the lessons of the 1959 electoral victory of Naziha Dulaimi, is sought to be eradicated from memory and replaced with the backward servitude that existed under the British mandate.

The already beleaguered Palestinians are once again being forced to move on, returning to the no mans land of a refugee camp where their names, culture and traditions will be replaced with rubber stamps and the numbers of bureaucracy.

Like the situation being faced by all Iraqi’s, the Palestinians economic and social independence is being forcibly extracted by the occupation and unlike the voice of Moses to the Pharaoh, the occupier will not insist that his people be let go!

As Jesus once declared, "The kingdom of God is within and his new kingdom is everywhere", the Iraqi’s are like most Arabs and understand the importance of that "kingdom". We have seen from previous centuries, the struggle to build our own "kingdoms" in the images inspired by our cultures, religions and various nations that have come before us.

And it is with that at the very front of our minds, that our "Kingdoms" will eventually be built and our cultures will be celebrated in an environment, where all our people will be genuinely free!
