The Problem with Israel

i am NOT an expert on what is happening in Palestine/Israel, but i do know when it is time to say, "This is NOT okay!" and i have done enough reading and listening and watching to share some thoughts...

An 'Israel/Palestine for Dummies' conversation for anyone who still doesn't get it or who think it all began on October 7th 2024 and especially for any people of faith who still back Israel.

The book i reference that was super helpful to me is 'On Palestine' by Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé 

Some of the novels that helped me understand the context include Blood Brothers – Elias Chacour and The Lemon Tree – Sandy Tolan.

The British MP i reference who changed his tune on Israel is Tory MP Mark Pritchard 

Two helpful faith conversations to watch on this topic are this one by Rev Munther Isaac from Christ at the Checkpoint conference in 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MieRvpAsXyw

And this titled 'A Christ-Centered Response in times of war' by Dr Lamma Mansour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyufVi2mdsA&t=553s
