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.
NOW IS THE TIME: By Dr Katanacho
How do we embrace this season when our spirits are frozen by hate and suspicion. A powerful poem by Dr. Yohanna Katanacho – a Palestinian Israeli Evangelical believer
WEEPING WITH THE WOUNDED: The Orthopathos of Compassion in Gaza
What the world needs now is not another revival but a baptism of compassion. Not the orthodoxy of compassion nor the orthopraxy of compassion but the orthopathos of compassion. Not only weeping FOR the wounded but weeping WITH the wounded.
600 DAYS IN GAZA: the one known known in the many unknown unknowns:
On Wednesday, May 28, Israel marked a grim milestone—600 days of war, the longest conflict in the nation’s history. Understanding the uncertainties surrounding the future will be determined by the known knowns, the known unknowns and especially the unknown unknowns.
PROJECT HOPE: GAZA
In our search for partners doing relief work in Gaza, we connected with Jerusalem Evangelistic Outreach, a ministry dedicated to supporting Gaza’s remnant Christian community, meeting both spiritual and physical needs. We, at Dia-logos and the Third Way, have jointly endeavoured to partner with Jerusalem Evangelistic Outreach and have committed ourselves to be an answer to the prayers of those living in Gaza—but we cannot do it alone. We need you!
A GENOCIDAL FAMINE IN GAZA: the sin of spiritual bypassing
Western Christianity has failed the people of Gaza. Let’s admit it. We have fallen short of our Christian mandate — something must change. Instead of a unified outcry from the global Christian community, a SPIRITUAL BYPASSING set in. Rather than sorrow, some defended the massacre. Rather than mourning, some rationalised the killings. Rather than standing for peace, some justified the destruction.
CHRISTIANITY IN GAZA: For God’s sake, Church, stand out and speak up!
The covenant community of God, NOT Israel but the bride of Christ, should always be our first concern when we address the conflict in Gaza. Not the only concern, but the first concern. Not Israel but the Church. And yet, one of the less-discussed effects of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza is the threat to, and possible elimination of, Christian communities in Gaza and throughout the Holy Land.
THE WAR IN GAZA: Reading the Bible upside down!
The Bible is dangerous. It contains the most wonderful passages of universal love, and it contains instructions for genocide. We always have a choice about which parts of the Bible we pay attention to. So, how do we navigate Biblical truths that seem to contradict one another and leave enough room for devout followers of the “God of love” to weaponize their hatred for the enemy and lack of love for those who are different? We just need to read it standing on our heads
EASTER IN GAZA: A terrible beauty is born
The pain and hardship endured by the people of Gaza will remain senseless and meaningless unless we can view it from the shadow of the cross, and find the terrible beauty that is born in the suffering and hardship of the Palestinian people.
