The Stones Cry Out – Documentary Voices of the Palestinian Christians. The Stones Cry OutIn 1948 the history of Palestine changed forever, but little is ever said about the upheaval faced by its Christian minority.

2024-03-18 Palestinian Christians Suffer—and Many American Churches Don’t Care We share the beliefs and traditions of Christians everywhere. Why do so many Western churches ignore us? while various opinions exist in most American and Western churches, a significant group either remains indifferent or unconditionally supports the modern state of Israel and many of its dehumanizing policies.
Adding insult to injury, certain Christian evangelical leaders have employed the Bible to justify and rationalize the war in Gaza, as if it were a conflict between biblical Israel and God’s enemies. Some leaders have gone so far as to promote political ideologies and disguise them in biblical language. Furthermore, some have even outright dismissed and discredited the voices of Christian Palestinians.
Indifference is not an option. As Christians, we cannot afford to remain silent in the face of any injustice. Our silence will be perceived as complicity, particularly by those we aim to reach with the love and hope of Jesus Christ. https://newrepublic.com/article/179758/palestinian-christians-suffer-american-churches-dont-care

2023-05-31 Israel systematically targets and harasses Palestinian Christians Israel unleashes its rabid settlers to torch and damage Christian property in occupied Palestine. Anti-Christian graffiti is a radical Israeli habit especially in Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Jesus Christ is a favorite topic. Spitting on Christians is normal practice. Palestinian Christians have always complained of Israeli attacks and harassment. Since 1948, Israel has carried out attacks against 100+ churches and cemeteries in occupied Palestine. Christian leaders refuse to be singled out and refuse Israeli attacks against Muslims and Christians. Muslims always rise to defend Christian holy sites against Israeli attacks. The number of Christians in Jerusalem and Bethlehem has dwindled due to Israeli occupation’s practices. Israeli settlers block and assault Arab Christians celebrating Holy Saturday in Jerusalem. Israel usually prevents Gaza Christians from reaching Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Whether you are Muslim or Christian, you’ll not be safe from Israeli terror. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gAcS1SVXHk, https://english.palinfo.com/video_articles/Israel-systematically-targets-and-harasses-Palestinian-Christians/
2019-03-04 Bethlehem | Walking with Palestinian Christians | short film documentary | The Living Stones So often, Christian pilgrims travel to the holy land to experience where Jesus lived, walked and performed miracles. Churches have been built over ancient stones that represent locations of stories in the Bible. The tours come and the tours go… but most of the pilgrims (tourists) miss the most important encounter: an encounter with the RISEN Christ. All around the world, the resurrected Christ roots his presence among the poor and marginalized. The Palestinian people, especially Palestinian Christians, have been oppressed and marginalized by the Israeli Occupation. However, Israel is not the enemy. “Enemies are friends in waiting”. Peacemaking is at the core of a Palestinian Christian’s life. Following Jesus means loving our enemy. There in Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, in the middle of it all, experience the Holy Land through the eyes of “the living stones,” Palestinian Christians who descend from the disciples. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnVxykNxxiU
