@KhouryYousef speaks of "Faith Nakba" as the weaponization of the Bible to justify violence, the jeopardizing of Christian witness through Christian support for Zionism, and the exile of the Christian living stones of Palestine.

Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace
The failure to hold Israel accountable for its crimes in Gaza has only emboldened further violence—now spilling into Lebanon with devastating consequences. Impunity fuels escalation. Lord, have mercy.
Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.
Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.
Toca hablar claro:
- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.
- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.
- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.
- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.
Cuatro periodistas más asesinados por Israel en Gaza. Matar comunicadores no es casualidad, es pretender invisibilizar el atroz GENOCIDIO que cometen contra el pueblo palestino. 🇵🇸
Im thrilled to announce that my timely new co-edited book “Theology after Gaza: A Global Anthology” is finally out - and now available to order.

Patriarch Theophilos: "To the children of Gaza we say: the Church will remain by your side". He called on the international community to break its silence, stating, "silence in the face of suffering is a betrayal of conscience."
Cardinal Pizzaballa said that Christ is ever-present in Gaza: "He is crucified in the bodies of the wounded, present in every hand extended to help". And affirmed that they "did not go as political envoys but as shepherds. The Church will not abandon her people."
Pope Leo XIV urged the international community to uphold "humanitarian law and to respect the obligation to protect civilians, as well as the prohibition of collective punishment, the indiscriminate use of force and the forced displacement of the population.”
While Netanyahu nominates Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in Washington, children are being massacred in Gaza by Netanyahu’s military using Trump’s weapons. This is a moral scandal of epic proportions. Humanity is in a grave moral decline. Lord, have mercy.
Children are being burned—what words are left to say? There are no words or appeals left. We are being burned alive, suffering from starvation, displacement, and genocide. Let all the world’s moral systems go to the garbage heap of history. You have failed to protect the innocent and the weak. Forgive us, Gaza. Forgive us, children of Gaza.
الأطفال يحرقون، فماذا تبقى من كلام؟ لم يتبقى هناك كلمات ومناشدات لنقولها. نحرق احياء ونعاني من التجويع والتهجير والإبادة. لتذهب كل منظومات العالم الأخلاقية إلى مزبلة التار��خ. فشلتم في حماية الأبرياء والضعفاء. سامحينا غزة. سامحونا يا أطفال غزة.
It's time to get organized. The forces attacking workers, immigrants, and marginalized communities are loud and well-funded.
This organizing training will move beyond the transactional "rent-a-collar" approach to labor-faith partnerships and will train faith leaders in transformational value-based organizing skills and theological frameworks that transform congregations and deeply engage worker organizations and communities.
Join us for Spirit + Solidarity, a training for faith leaders and seminary students who are ready to move beyond transactional activism and into real power-building.

Because faith should always stand with the people. Are you in?
The man who has an arrest warrant for him from the ICC is invited to the White House as a guest of honor. This is the world we live in. Faith leaders must make their voices heard in times like this.
