Israel-Palestine
Grounded Viewpoint
The clashes of protest, political alliances and public grief around Israel and Palestine call Christians back to biblical commitments: be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9), pursue justice and mercy (Micah 6:8), and love the stranger and neighbor (Leviticus 19:34; Mark 12:31). Amid polarized rhetoric and symbolic confrontation, believers are urged to pray for all who suffer, reject antisemitism and unjust violence, and witness to reconciliation rooted in truth and compassion.
