Gaza Crisis: video message from Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb, Bethlehem

Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb, pastor of the Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem, and President of the Diyar Consortium

Global Ministries shares this heartfelt statement from our partner, the Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb, pastor of the Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem, and President of the Diyar Consortium.

As violence escalates throughout Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank, it is abundantly clear that the underlying causes of this human tragedy must be addressed. All aspects of Israel’s illegal military occupation–including the barrier in the West Bank and the blockade on Gaza–will need to end, in order for a just and secure future to result.

Take action to end the violence – for today, and for the future.  Let your senators and representative know that as a person of faith, respecting the dignity of every human being you call on to act. Ask your Members of Congress to stop U.S. complicity in suffering and to end violence by sending a message to your Senator or Representative.
