Two Palestinian Christian women, Maysaa Abu Daoud (Ayad) & Marie Al-Najjar (Abu Daoud), were murdered today, October 3, in an Israeli strike on their apartment in Gaza City. Two more lives lost. Two more Palestinian Christian families left grieving. END THE GENOCIDE. END THE KILLING. LET GAZA LIVE

Jesus never ran from the truth. He never stayed silent or softened his criticism just to make people comfortable. So why are we afraid to speak the truth? المسيح عمره ما خاف من الحق، ولا سكت عنه أو خفّف من حدّة نقده عشان يرضي الناس. ليش إحنا بنخاف نحكي الحق؟

Without justice, what looks like peace from a distance can look very different up close: surrender بدون عدالة، اللي ممكن يبين سلام من بعيد، لما تقرّب بتكتشف إنه مجرد استسلام

“I don’t believe peace comes from pretending the differences aren’t there. It comes from naming them honestly and choosing, again and again, to stay in relationship.”

You cannot ask people to make peace with injustice and then call it peace
ما بصير تطلب من المظلوم يتعايش مع الظلم، وبعدين تسمي هذا سلام

You can love Jewish people and still believe that Palestinians deserve freedom, dignity and justice. These things are not contradictions ممكن تحب اليهود وبنفس الوقت تؤمن إنه الفلسطينيين إلهم حق بالحرية والكرامة والعدالة. هاي الأشياء مش متناقضة

A Palestinian Christian on why real peace isn't built in signing ceremonies but in ordinary rooms — where listening, grief, and stubborn hope do the slow work first.

If loving my neighbor is Christian, then my neighbor’s humanity cannot depend on his religion, nationality or politics إذا محبة القريب هي من صميم الايمان المسيحي، فمحبة الإنسان ما لازم تعتمد على دينه أو جنسيته أو موقفه السياسي

Does God have a favorite nation, or does He see all as equal? هل عند الله شعب مفضّل، ولا كل الناس متساوين قدامه؟ #God #Christianity #jesus #christ #bible #theology

I struggle with any theology that asks me to believe God cares more about a piece of land than about the people who live on it
بصراحة، بصعب عليّ أتقبل أي لاهوت بطلب مني أؤمن إن الله بهمه الحجر والارض أكثر من الناس اللي عايشين عليها

We are not only the oldest Christian community on Earth. We are the FIRST Christians, rooted in the very land where Christianity was born. We were here from the beginning. We are still here. And we will remain here until the end of times.

When political ideology puts on a theological robe, Christians should be careful. Not everything spoken in God’s name comes from God.

I sometimes wish Western Christians would spend less time telling us what God promised about Palestine and more time listening to what Palestinians are living through.

Religion should make us more human. If it teaches us to see others as less human, something has gone terribly wrong. الدين المفروض يخلّينا انصير اكثر إنسانية. بس إذا صرنا انشوف غيرنا كأنهم أقل منّا، معناته في إشي غلط بفهمنا للدين

Sometimes I wonder how we became so good at defending our theology and so bad at defending human dignity.
أحيانا بسأل حالي: كيف صرنا شاطرين لهالدرجة بالدفاع عن الايمان، ومش شاطرين بالدفاع عن كرامة الإنسان؟

One of the most beautiful paintings by the late Palestinian Christian artist Sliman Mansour, and one that has always been especially close to my heart: “Rituals Under Occupation” (1989).

Christianity loses something essential when we can talk about God’s love while remaining silent about human suffering. المسيحية بتفقد إشي أساسي منها لما نحكي عن محبة الله، وبنفس الوقت نسكت عن وجع الناس.

The Church of England showed that a major denomination can look past political pressure and hear the cry of a people still suffering under occupation in this moment. To match what they did, American Christians and congregations have to stop treating prayer as the finish line.

"This is a call to make pilgrimage mean what the word should mean. If we can visit the place where Jesus was born and leave without becoming more curious about the people who live there today, perhaps we should ask what exactly we went there to see."

What Kind of Christian Have We Become?
Here is a Tuesday in my part of the world. My friend is a Palestinian Christian living in a village near Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank. On her way to work, she drives on a Palestinian road.

Did you know that Ramallah’s mayor, Jack Saadeh, is a Palestinian Christian, and that 8 of the city council’s 15 members are also Christians? We are not outsiders or persecuted in Palestine. We are an integral part of its society, history, and public life.

How is a relationship between Palestinian Christians & British Christians a threat to British Jews? Why would Britain’s most senior rabbi speak of the Palestinian Christian voice with such contempt, showing no respect for his fellow British Christians?
