Planning for the Future with Gaza

I am already trying to figure out what the future holds with me and Gaza. I want to know how to serve long-term and I am not sure how this is supposed to work with my life and how it will unfold here in the United States. When I think about Gaza I am as if physically incapacitated. What would it be like to lose tens of thousands of lives and all of one’s useable real estate, to be trapped and to not be able to bring construction materials in?

What I can’t believe is how this genocide has gotten normalized. I feel helpless and I don’t know what to do.

Postscript from 2025:

I have now gotten a writer in Gaza, Joy, who wrote for me the following piece:

Something Unfair Keeps Happening

About Christian Minus Christianity

Christian Minus Christianity is a budding community created to challenge imperialism, nationalism, and racism in many forms of US-American Christianity. It is a work of contextual theology created from the perspective of a white Christian of conscience.

Palestinian theologian Dr. Yousef Kamal AlKhouri, academic dean of Bethlehem Bible College, wrote about this project:

“I do think it’s important to dismantle imperial Christianity in a form, and for the reign of God to liberate the oppressed and God’s entire creation from systems of supremacy, exploitation, and destruction. I also believe that every theologian and Christian are doing theology from their own context, wherever they are. All theologies are contextual.”
