The evangelical church faces a moral crisis as the Israel-Hamas war continues to devastate Gaza, leaving tens of thousands dead and a humanitarian catastrophe. We must reconcile our support for Israel with our Christian duty to speak against injustice and suffering, recognizing that being pro-Israel doesn't require ignoring Palestinian suffering.
• Over 60,000 Palestinians killed according to Gaza health ministry, with half being women and children
• Humanitarian crisis with widespread starvation and malnutrition, particularly affecting children
• Evangelical church's unwavering support for Israel creating a moral blind spot
• Supporting Israel doesn't mean endorsing all actions of the Israeli government
• Biblical precedent for speaking against injustice, even to "God's chosen people"
• Attack on Holy Family Catholic Church killing Christians seeking refuge
• Pro-life values must extend beyond abortion to include Palestinian lives
• Need for a two-state solution that recognizes the humanity of both peoples
• Being critical of Israeli government actions is not anti-Semitism
• Christians must advocate for peace, humanitarian aid, and diplomatic solutions
We must speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. If we claim to be pro-life, we must be consistently pro-life for all people made in God's image.
