Palestinian Christian reverend calls out Christian Zionists

After nearly two years since the escalation of the genocide, half the Christian population of Gaza has been killed or forced to flee by the Israeli regime.

But despite Palestine being home to Christianity’s holiest sites, the Palestinian Christians being the oldest Christian community anywhere in the world, and prominent Christian voices like the late Pope Francis calling for an end to the genocide, many Christians in the West continue to support Israel.

Why? Why do Christian Zionists fail to practise the teaching of  “love your neighbour” in this case? What is the shared history of Muslims and Christians in the Holy Land? And how must our communities work together for justice today?

Dr Omar Suleiman discusses these questions with Palestinian pastor Rev Munther Isaac of the Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem in Palestine.
