 "A moment of truth: A word of faith, hope and love from the heart of Palestinian suffering"

In this historic document, we Palestinian Christians declare that the military occupation of our land is a sin against God and humanity, and that any theology that legitimizes the occupation is far from Christian teachings because true Christian theology is a theology of love and solidarity with the oppressed, a call to justice and equality among peoples.

The initiators of this document have been working on it for more than a year, in prayer and discussion, guided by their faith in God and their love for their people, accepting advice from many friends: Palestinians, Arabs and those from the wider international community. We are grateful to our friends for their solidarity with us.


Read the document in English, French, German or Arabic:

A moment of truth: A word of faith, hope and love from the heart of Palestinian suffering

Un moment de vérité: Une parole de foi, d’espérance et d’amour venant du cœur de la souffrance palestinienne

Die Stunde der Wahrheit: Ein Wort des Glaubens, der Hoffnung und der Liebe aus der Mitte des Leidens der Palästinenser und Palästinenserinnen

وقفة حقّ: كلمة إيمــان ورجــاء ومحبّــة من قلب المعاناة الفلسطينيّة
