Introduction
C4P is a Palestinian solidarity organization based in Ireland.
We have a number of strategic aims
- To educate the public on the true nature of the Palestinian conflict, the politics and theology.
- To form partnerships with Christian churches to encourage them to explicitly oppose the genocide and apartheid in Palestine.
- To encourage the public to participate in targeted actions that apply financial and political pressure such as Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS).

Twinning Parishes - Ireland and Palestine
Two Palestinian solidarity groups, Christians4Palestine and Gaels Against Genocide have been working to develop links between initially Belfast based parishes and parishes in Palestine.
Bishop Alan McGuickian SJ, Bishop of Down and Connor, has formally approached the Latin Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzabella of Jerusalem to enter into a twinning arrangement between parishes in their respective Dioceses and he has given it his blessing.
Bet Sahur has been suggested by the Latin Patriarch as one of the first Parishes to twin.
Bet Sahur is a small village on the outskirts of Bethlehem which is located south east of Jerusalem. It is known as the ‘shepherds field’ because it was here that the angels announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds who then went to visit Him.
The planning for the twinning process is now taking place.
More information about the project will be published here in the next few weeks.

Kairos Palestine 2 Article
Kairos Palestine, the combined voice of all the Christian Churches in Palestine, released a very important paper in December 2025 that articulates their plight under Israeli persecution. It implores their Western Christian brother and sisters to call out the Israeli oppression and use the correct phrases.
In light of all this, we must call things by their proper names: Israel is a colonial, settler, and exclusionary entity built upon the displacement of the indigenous population and its replacement with new settlers. For this reason, we reject the very concept of “conflict.” The reality on the ground is tyranny and an oppressive regime of settler colonialism and apartheid. Any denial of this reality is an evasion of manifest truth — one that reinforces and perpetuates the injustice.
BDS - Focus on Allianz
This article outlines the compelling case for the GAA and the Catholic church to sever all links with insurance giant Allianz because of its complicity in the Gaza genocide.
Boycott Divestment Sanctions
The Boycott Sanctions and Divestment organization is a non violent way of resisting the Genocide in Palestine.
If you are feeling horrified by the genocide and feeling helpless to stop it - then check out the BDS page to get some ideas of how YOU can help fight the good fight.
