A “Christmas in Palestine” hallway display at a Peel District School Board high school turns the birth of Jesus into a modern political story about Palestine, using the holiday as a doorway into land claims and grievances about the war in Israel.

The display appears at Fletcher’s Meadow Secondary School in Brampton, Ontario. Photos shared with True North show a multi-panel project titled “Christmas in Palestine,” prepared by teacher and department head Fadi Mehanna.
