Become a citizen of Bethlehem this Christmas


Open Bethlehem is an international campaign working to promote Bethlehem as a real and contemporary city in the Middle East - through the distribution of publicity materials and by promoting visits to Bethlehem through established tour operators and by developing a network of ambassadors for the city through the Bethlehem Passport Program.

The campaign's vision is to support a lasting peace settlement between Palestine and Israel using Bethlehem as a doorway for global engagement. As an iconic city, and a Palestinian city, Bethlehem has both power and responsibility to act and use its global outreach to promote positive change.

One of the first Bethlehem passport holders, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, said: "Open Bethlehem is a nonviolent attempt to save a city that belongs to the world. It is unconscionable that Bethlehem should be allowed to die slowly from strangulation."

The critically acclaimed documentary film: 'Open Bethlehem' has now gone on international release and will be available to view online for a limited period over the Christmas holidays. For more information, see: www.OpenBethlehem.org
