Beyond Slogans: A Christian Perspective on Gaza : “The Middle East’s problems will not be solved by reducing them to hashtags or campus chants. They require patient engagement, nuanced understanding, and the kind of costly love that characterizes authentic Christian witness.

This means speaking truthfully about Hamas’s terrorism while also acknowledging Palestinian suffering. It means supporting Israel’s right to defend itself while questioning whether all tactics serve the cause of justice. It means caring about Gaza while not forgetting those suffering in many other situations in the Middle East. It means advocating for Palestinian Christians while also defending Jewish families.

The image of God is reflected in both Israeli and Palestinian faces, in both Jewish and Arab children who deserve safety and dignity.” – Joshua Youssef
