The dominant narrative on Palestine projected by the mainstream media, often deliberately omits a crucial component thereof, Palestinian Christians and their struggle against Zionism and the Israeli occupation with all its manifestations.
Not only does this reduce the Palestinian struggle, but it exposes the hypocrisy of the largely Christian West towards their brethren in faith in Palestine.
Anas Altikriti talks to Bishop Dr Munib Younan and Makram Khoury-Machool about the struggles Palestine’s Christians encounter including correcting the dominant narrative on Palestine and their unwavering solidarity with their Muslim and Arab brethren against the ugliness of occupation.

For millions of American evangelical Christians, supporting Israel is a core part of their faith. They believe Israel needs to exist so that the “end times” prophecies and return of Jesus Christ are guaranteed. But what does that support mean for people who share their religion but live under Israeli occupation?

- What is Christian Zionism?
- Why this American Christian has devoted her life to helping Israel
- Christian Palestinians react to Christian Zionists
- What some evangelicals believe the Bible says about the “end times”
- Who’s behind the most powerful Christian Zionist organization?
- Why do Christian Zionists support Israel’s oppression?
