Christian Silence

The broad refusal to condemn the Hamas attack on Israel is one of the most disheartening things I have witnessed because it shows what is at the heart of so many.

The current situation between Israel/Palestine/Hamas/Gaza has shown that far too many are willing to remain silent when faced with terrorism, as well as take a perspective that is completely feeling based yet has no factual evidence.

I am particularly infuriated with Christians who attempt to placate this horrendous situation by saying the history between Palestine and Israel somehow justifies the actions of terrorists.

Regarding the October 7 attack, I do not care about the history, I do not care what “led up” to this, I do not care about politics when it comes to this situation, but I do care about the babies who were slaughtered, women raped, hostages taken, and pure hatred that flooded Israeli streets. There is always more than one way to handle a disagreement, so to attempt to allude that Hamas/Palestine was “forced” into such brutality is simply idiocy.

I am pro-Israel and I am unashamed to say I STAND WITH ISRAEL, but that does not mean I do not have deep compassion for the innocent Palestinians caught in the middle of this terrible fight.

If you are a CHRISTIAN and refuse to speak out against the absolute horrors the terrorist group Hamas did to the Israeli people, then you should be ashamed of yourself.

To be silent in the face of evil is evil, and far too many “Christians” remain silent.

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
    for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
    defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

-Proverbs 31:8-9 (NIV)

  1. Why would you stand up for bullies and thieves

    Israel agreed to have Jordan administer the temple mount and allow Christian, Muslims and Jews to worship there. Recently the Jews kicked the Christians and Muslims off of the mount so they can expand their temple. That is in violation of the United Nations agreement.

    The Jews kick the Palestinians off of their land to build settlements there. Again illegal under U.N agreement

    Palestinians are rounded up and put in prison with no trial. Again violation of the U.N
    The Jews bring forth secret trial where neither the Palestinians nor their lawyers are allowed to see the evidence against them

    Jew regularly spit on and hit Christians.

    Everything I say can be proven.

    Before you criticize me perhaps you might want to learn the history of the region and see the Jews are the biggest committers of crimes against humanity in the region.

    Jews are not Gods people. Jesus Himself said He is the only way to God.
