The ignorance of Evangelicals who support Israel and the Zionist elements within Christian churches is just mind boggling. Their blind loyalty, dare I say idolization of a people goes beyond rational thinking. By saying “We stand with Israel” is an open declaration of genocide upon people who are innocent. Then there is the unspoken genocide within the already inhumane genocide, and that is the destruction of Palestinian Christians along with their Muslim brothers and sisters. Just as with Zionism there is a cult like entitlement within Evangelical circles where only the “right” type of Christians are accepted. There is a lot of racism and un-Christ like behavior, even decadence and depravity.
Israel has purposefully targeted some of the oldest churches in the world and it’s cleansing Gaza of all Christian history and identity where Christians lived in peace alongside Muslims throughout all of Palestine before the occupation began 76 years ago.
For Christians around the world, Palestine should be a heritage site as that is where Christianity started. Before Roman persecution, the first to murder and persecute Christians were the Jews. Are Christians that uninformed about their history and what is written in the New Testament? Christians were chased out of Synagogues and started home churches in the times of antiquity.
On this Sunday at the start of a new week and a new month let us come together in solidarity with each other and with the biggest crises many of us have witnessed in our lifetimes. I ask my friends and followers to go and give a follow and support these accounts of people with hearts of gold. All my followers are people with pure empathy and heart who I want to encourage to never stop speaking about Palestine. May love be with you all.
