What we are saying, is that for us, the real issue and the core of our struggles is the Israeli occupation. The occupation is real. It has been our reality for the last 45 years. It is the main reason why Palestinian Christians are leaving.

I recently came back from a life changing, mind blowing, mind and heart conforming trip from Palestine and Israel. One of the first questions I was asked by some friends upon my return to the states was, “are you Pro-Palestine now?”

Hebron. Barbed Wire. Segregation. Separation. Racist. Need. Divide. Outrageous. Juxtaposition. Frustration. Bullet Holes. Conflict. Divided. Green LIne. Moving. Systematic Injustice.
These are just a few of the short words by which students have described our trip to Hebron.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to go to Aboud, a Christian village in the West Bank that lies between Ramallah and Jaffa, two of the biggest cities in their respective regions. Led by a team from World Vision International that works closely with this village, we were able to worship in two different churches within the village—one Catholic and the other evangelical.
Who thought it would snow in Bethlehem? We didn’t! Upon arrival yesterday, we heard it had snowed. We couldn’t figure out why this was such a hit. After all, we internationals were under the impression that it would be fairly warm in Bethlehem. This is not exactly what happened.
We made it! None of us can believe it. It seems as if we were posting promotional flyers around campus just a few days ago. That is not exactly the case now.
