ISRAEL’S CLAIM TO INNOCENCE: unmasking the theology of self-defence.
For most pro-Israel supporters, every heartbreaking statistic—bombed hospitals, starving children, community displacement and mass graves—is met with one universal refrain – a question disguised as an answer: “Doesn’t Israel have the right to defend itself?” When engaging the topic of self-defence, three distinct yet interwoven frameworks must be held together in thoughtful unity. Each offers a lens—legal, moral, and spiritual—that, when integrated, can guide us beyond reaction toward discernment. To separate them is to risk distortion; to unite them is to pursue justice with integrity.
TO CARE IS NOT TO HATE: My statement of faith
After more than 700 days of war and nearly 70,000 lives lost, silence is no longer neutrality—it is complicity. To remain quiet in the face of relentless bombardment, starvation, and displacement is to abandon the gospel’s call to justice. It is a betrayal of Christ. It is time for Christ-followers to stand up and to speak out—not with opinionated loyalty or biased convictions, but with the courage of the cross. This is my statement of faith – and I encourage you to do the same.
FAMINE IN GAZA: fact or fake?
Is there really a famine in Gaza or is it, as Israel’s Foreign Ministry called it, “fabricated” and “tailor-made to fit Hamas’s fake campaign?” Is it fact or fake?
This article is not written to persuade those who have already chosen disbelief. It is not a courtroom defense. It is a candle held against the shadows—an attempt to shed light on the process of why and what constitutes a famine. To provide a deeper clarity, and to stir a deeper, more courageous empathy. Not the kind that feels sorry from afar, but the kind that dares to come close. The kind that asks, not “Is this true?” but “What does love require of me now?”
667 DAYS: a lamentation for a Church distracted by debate
If, after 667 days of Gaza’s groaning, we are still entangled in the courtroom of blame—then we have lost the heart of Christ
HOW TO RESPOND TO GAZA’S CRY: confessions from the comfort zones
How do we respond to the devastation in Gaza? Maybe our response should focus not in proving ourselves, but in posturing ourselves. In this hour of anguish—where rubble buries dreams and cries echo unheard across a world of indifference—I write this essay not to forgive, but to ask forgiveness. This, I believe, is the Godly posture and a Christ-like response
LOOK IN THEIR EYES: and tell them it’s fake
New rumors are now circulating that Gaza is just a performance—nothing more than a stage where blood is artificial and suffering is a calculated form of gaslighting designed to shame Israel. They’ve even coined a name for it: GAZAWOOD, a website dedicated to exposing what they claim is Palestinian propaganda, likening real anguish to film production. May God help us if we ever reduce genuine suffering to political strategy.
GAZA: when opinions roar, compassion whispers
The question echoing in my heart this morning is painfully simple: How did we get here? How did we, as followers of Christ, become more obsessed with being right than with being compassionate? How did we move from weeping over starving children to arguing about who’s to blame for their suffering? How—in God’s name—did this happen?
WATER: when did we forget?
This powerful reflection by Dr. Ezzideen Shehab—a 28-year-old doctor born and raised in Jabaliya, in northern Gaza—is more than just a story; it’s a window into the daily realities faced by so many. We believe Dr. Shehab would want his words to be heard far and wide. Sharing them is a small but vital act of solidarity. You can do the same: speak up for those whose voices are silenced, whose truth is kept from those who choose ignorance and indifference.
WEAPONIZING DOUBT: the toxic practice of truth inversion
When we talk about “fake news,” we usually refer to false or made-up news presented as truth. But an even more corrosive tactic is the opposite: presenting truth as “fake news.” That reversal doesn’t just deceive—it undermines the very idea that some things are knowable, trustworthy, or truthful. Once truth itself is treated as suspect, every story, report or expert analysis becomes fair game for dismissal. It places every heartache, hunger, and killing in Gaza under suspicion. It corrodes compassion and is simply evil.
