Liberation Theology: Christianity, Solidarity, and the Palestinian Struggle for Justice
With Rev Michael Yoshii, Omar Haramy facilitated by Sarah Nahar
Christian Zionism is the foreign policy of Christian Nationalism. It is a major contributor, and the most overlooked contributor, to the ongoing displacement and genocide of Palestinians. This panel of Christian theologians and activists will examine the responsibility Christians have to challenge Christian hegemonic forces, and the joy-filled solidarity possible when faith is liberated.
'Where Olive Trees Weep' is a poignant, heartbreaking film about the struggles and resilience of Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. We follow, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. It features Dr. Gabor Maté as he offers trauma-healing work to Palestinian women tortured in Israeli prisons.
The program expands on the themes explored in the film and provides a larger historical and social context. Access to the program and the film is by donation.

Dear God, May this understanding and this conversation spread far and wide. In gratitude. Amen

I know a number of Catholic priests who are against liberation theology for some reason? I am also struck by the fact that most Catholic priests have kept silent about what is happening in the Middle East and throughout the world! I find this perplexing? Every chance I get, I try to open a dialogue with people about Gaza.
I continue to be in AWE by all the magnificent people on these panels. Such a gift and grace to be able to listen to this important conversation. THANK YOU ALL!

A challenging conversation, thank you all. With reference to what Omar said about Christ knocking on the door inviting us to go out into the world, here is a quotation from St Teresa of Avila that was on my church leaflet on Sunday:
Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes with which Christ looks out His compassion to the world. Yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which He is to bless us now. Amen!
