Bethlehem Pastor Rev Munther Isaac criticizes Western hypocrisy and Church complicity in the Gaza crisis

“If you fail to call this a genocide, that is on you. It is a sin and a darkness you willingly embrace.” In his address at the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem on 23 December, Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac expressed deep outrage over the global silence and inaction towards the Gaza crisis. Isaac highlighted the tragic loss of life, including over 9,000 children, and the displacement of 1.9 million Palestinians. He strongly criticized the Western world for its hypocrisy and racism and particularly denounced the church’s complicity in the crisis, stating: “We are outraged by the complicity of the church.”

When 12 people were killed in Charlie Hebdo attacks, World Leaders thronged to Paris for a Solidarity March.

But no world leader has organised a march to protest killing of over 25,000 civilians, 12,000 children, 130 UN aid workers, and 100 journalists in Gaza.

I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.
