This is an epoch. When the Gazans in their desperation and frustration born under their oppression for which the world stayed deaf, threw their bodies into the Al Aqsa flood, prepared to die, hoped for some bargaining chip, and paid the ultimate sacrifice which unwittingly set a chain reaction to set us all free. As the bible depicts, Jesus threw himself in, to set a chain reaction, of setting us free from the oppressors. The Palestinians suffered for decades while the Zionist construct controlled our thoughts. Until now. We have an opportunity for people of faith and none faith, to unite under our humanity, and our love of life. This is the mask-off moment. The Gazans ripped the band-aid off, it has taken the scab off with it, it will bleed, it will be pain, but it will heal.

Look forward to the full interview. At least, Francis is in daily contact with Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, who gives him the real story, and why the Pope has spoken out a bit more than all his priests and cardinals on this. (Am disappointed in so many US priests in thrall to the Jews still.)

Miriam is right in asserting Christians have a vested interest in Palestine and Palestinian resistance: furthermore, In my perspective, Christ as metaphor represents the embodiment of humans suffering the increase of learning in coming to know and understand from experience and in the suffering of the ignorant imposing their blind will on others. And in that representation, Palestinians are the embodiment of Christ in being crucified by injustice and the unjust. Even as an agnostic Christian who believes the life breath is born of the spirit of God in being life, and that spiritual inspiration comes from those who have learned and recognized compassion and justice, I feel the Palestinians and the Levant have much to teach the rest of the world by reflecting the evil within those who seek the throne of God by force. Those who see themselves as the chosen by being wealthy and superior are those that consume the elitist poison that deluded them into stealing land and resources as though it were a manifest destiny chosen by God. But god proved to be a Zionist movement and wealthy bankers in England. Moreover, their religious self image is reflected back as corruption and genocide. Life is intended to be appreciated and not burnt in an oven of a bomb blast. They say the Israeli occupation is a matter of faith, but in reality faith has no safe refuge in a house divided by injustice. Israel has to confess its Nakba and conspiracy to ethically cleanse Palestine in the creation of Israel as an act of covetousness and theft, possibly out of jealousy for the peace that was Palestine in 1948 before the Nakba. Until Zionists confess, their sin will continue to crucify Christ in the form of violence towards Palestine and the Palestinians. As Christians and as Muslims, we must stand for that unifying spirit of God in standing for justice and the freedom that is mutual respect and dignity, both key tenets in the social evolution of Christ’s ministry. We must keep in mind that the book of life is written in bloodshed, and our souls are determined by the fruits of our spirit in becoming the life within others as God is the life within ourselves. Ours is to resist the fear of the lesser god of evil.
