'God loves Gaza': US Christians gather in rare display of solidarity with Palestine

Hundreds of American Christians from diverse backgrounds gathered in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, for a conference expressing solidarity with Palestine. The event, titled 'Church at the Crossroads,' was designed as an antithesis to the mainstream Christian Zionist movement that heavily influences US foreign policy. Participants gathered to pray and denounce the theological positions of groups like Christians United For Israel (CUFI), which advocate for the defense of Israel. Led in part by Palestinian pastor Reverend Munther Isaac, the conference aimed to provide a space for Christians who oppose the war on Gaza and want to challenge the dominant pro-Israel narrative within US churches.
