“May God extend his arm and stop the unhuman atrocities in Gaza that are committed in the name of God who does not kill.”
In honor of Palestinian Nakba Remembrance Day, take some time to read a letter from Abuna Elias Chacour, Greek Catholic Archbishop of Galilee, that was written to Douglas Dicks, Global Ecumenical Liaison for the Interim Unified Agency of the PC(USA).
Take action: Call or write your elected officials and tell them: The war on Gaza must end—and so must U.S. support for Israel’s inhumane treatment of Palestinians. Demand a real humanitarian response that isn’t controlled by the military or outside contractors and that gets food, water, and medical supplies to people quickly and without delays. The U.S. has the power to act—and lives depend on it.
The Office of the Public Witness of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) provides two advocacy actions:
Send Aid to Gaza
Stop U.S. Aid to Israel and Demand a Ceasefire Now

May 15 is designated as Palestinian Nakba Remembrance Day, a day of “lifting prayer for peace, giving solidarity for those suffering under occupation.” The Nakba which means “catastrophe” in Arabic, refers to the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians in 1948 by Jewish armed groups and as a result of the Arab-Israeli war. Many view this experience as ethnic cleansing. The dispossession and displacement of Palestinians continues to this day as seen in ongoing events in Gaza and on the West Bank which include the continuing Israeli assault and blockade upon the people of Gaza, starvation in Gaza, and violence on the West Bank.
