Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories

Across churches and communities, there is a growing recognition that the suffering in Gaza, Israel, and the wider region cannot be ignored. The scale and depth of human loss — the devastation in Gaza, alongside the trauma, fear and grief experienced by both Palestinians and Israelis — compel a response. Yet finding the right words is profoundly difficult. Any attempt to speak into this moment risks inadequacy: it is so hard to find words that honour the scale of suffering without unintentionally diminishing the pain of others.
