As Europe dials up its armies and defence arsenals, many Christians wonder: should we take up arms and join the fight? Or should we work for another form of peace?

It sounds spiritual to say that Palestinians are oppressed, but in fact, it is Marxist language. Whether Palestinian Christians are willing peace partners is the more critical question, says Esther Arnusch.

As a Palestinian Christian, Jack Nassar from Ramallah writes to his European brothers and sisters.

More Christian organisations are condemning Israel's role in the conflict and calling for better care in Gaza.

In just a few weeks’ time, the European position towards Israel and Gaza is changing. You don’t have to be a visionary to notice that. But this gives the wrong signal to both Israel and its enemies.
