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

Hundreds of American Christians gathered in Illinois for a rare conference called "Church at the Crossroads" to express solidarity with Palestine. The event brought together a diverse group of denominations, including a significant number of evangelicals who feel at odds with their community's traditional pro-Israel stance. Organizers designed the conference as a direct counter-narrative to powerful Christian Zionist groups that advocate for unwavering support of Israel. Attendees and speakers argued that their faith compels them to affirm the humanity and rights of Palestinians, challenging what they see as a misinterpretation of scripture.
