Christian Group Hails Calls For End To Israeli Genocide In Gaza

Jonathan Kuttab, the executive director of the Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA), says God’s people are rising and calling for “an end to the genocide, for an end to occupation and Israeli apartheid, and for the implementation of a just solution to the Palestinian issue.”

In a recent statement, Kuttab said he hails the newly-formed Mennonite Action for taking a prophetic position on this issue.

The Catholic Pax Christi has been vocal in their opposition since the very beginning, as well as the multiple denomination-based grassroots Palestine-Israel Networks (PINs), which have been amazing in their principled witness.

Local and regional FOSNA, Kairos, as well as independent groups have been active in their communities demanding action and accountability from local leadership.

“On social media, numerous new Christian pages advocating for a ceasefire and an end to genocide have been established. And, activist-influencers like Shane Claiborne, Jonathan Walton, and of course Dr. Cornel West, as well as many leaders in the black church have been phenomenal. But, the shameful silence and timidity of most of Christian leaders at this time of crisis is something the Church will have to come to terms with for many years to come,” Kuttab warned.
