Bethlehem, Palestine

Renowned throughout the world for its religious and historical significance, Bethlehem today is under foreign military occupation.  Its people are increasingly isolated, suffering land confiscation, obstruction of their economy, and a diminished future. Bethlehem is reaching out to the international community to end this isolation and injustice.  In the spirit and mission of Sister Cities around the world, SacramentoBethlehem is responding, stating that we, Sacramento and Bethlehem, are members of one global community.
