Palestinian Genocide is Happening and Needs to Stop

Genocide Is destroying Palestinians in Gaza. There is more than enough evidence that this is, in fact, happening. It is a war crime, it is unethical, and it is a sin. The United States of America is the largest supplier of weapons to this ethnic cleansing, and is the country that could stop Israel, but chooses to be complicit. What is more, many Christians support this because they believe that Israel must be protected at all costs. On the contrary, this is a communal sin that Christians and Jews should be standing up against. Yes, we are to respect Israel and protect her people from another holocaust. However, God Himself spoke out against Israel when she was in the wrong: You see this throughout the Old Testament. For instance,
Hosea 5: 10 – “Judah’s leaders are like those who move boundary stones. I will pour out my wrath on then like a flood of water.”
Amos 2: 6-7a – “This is what the Lord says: ‘For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath. They sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals. They trample on the heads of the poor as upon the dust of the ground and deny justice to the oppressed…”
Micah 3:8-12 – “ Hear this, you leaders of the house of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right: who build Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with wickedness, Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Yet they lean upon the Lord and say ‘Is not the Lord among us? No disaster will come upon us.’ Therefore because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets.’”
Isaiah 58: “Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the house of Jacob their sins. For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right and has not forsaken the commands of its God. They ask me for just decisions and seem eager for God to come near them. ‘Why have we fasted’, they say, ‘and you have not seen it? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you have not noticed?’ Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please and exploit all your workers…Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter – when you see the naked, to clothe him…?”
When any country is in the wrong, we need to stand against that evil. Is any country free to do as they wish to anyone they wish? That goes for America as well. Is a country that is currently guilty of Genocide and ethnic cleansing going to admit it’s sins? Since the beginnings of recorded history in the Bible, did not Cain, who killed Abel, answer God’s confrontation of his sin with “Am I my brother’s keeper?” Did not Jesus confront the leaders of Israel when they were in the wrong? In fact, many Jews themselves are standing against the evils seen in Gaza.
Jesus told Peter to put down his sword when he was going to “help” Jesus fight off whom he thought was Jesus’ enemy. Jesus does not need our help with a Zionist movement that helps with the second coming either. On the contrary, the disciples were called to bring the good news to all nations. They were, themselves, slaughtered, though they did not raise the sword. The two greatest commandments were to love God with all one’s heart, soul, and mind, and to love one’s neighbor as much as oneself. It was not to slaughter groups of people to “help” Jesus return, as if Jesus needs our help with that. Did God need our help in creating the world? Yet we are doing a fine job of helping God destroy what He commanded us to care for.

Listen to some of the voices of reason from around the world, this just touching the surface:
Former United Nations Aid Chief, Marin Griffith, condemned the attack on Gaza, Calling it the “worst crime of the 21st century”. He goes on to say, “There’s no prior experience in my 5 decades of humanitarian experience, that can come close to the comparison to the horror we are seeing in Gaza”.
UN Secretary General, Antonia Guterres, on July 25th, 2025, stated he has condemned the attacks by Hamas on Israel. However, “Nothing can justify the explosion of death and destruction since (terrorist attacks by Hamas). The scale and scope of it is beyond anything we have seen in recent times. I cannot explain the level of indifference and inaction we see by too many in the international community. The lack of compassion, the lack of truth the lack of humanity.”
According to the United Nations, as of August 9th:
51,158 Palestinians have been killed.
151,000 Palestinians have been wounded
Many more Palestinians are missing.
“Displacement is on a vast scale: 1.9 million people – around 90 per cent of Gaza’s population.”
Nearly 100 children now dead from malnutrition. August 9th, 2025, The United Nations writes “For over 150 days, not a single truck from UNRWA has been permitted to deliver food, medicine or other essentials in Gaza…this denial of access is costing lives every single day.”
The United Nations states: “We need the world to act – to open the crossings, to stop the suffering, and to uphold the most basic principles of humanity
Action Against Hunger listed over 100 humanitarian organizations that have called for an immediate ceasefire and unimpeded aid access in Gaza on July 23, 2025.
In A Genocide Scholar on the Case of Israel, July 23, 2025, by Omer Bartov and Daniel J. Wakin, Produced by Jillian Weinberger, for The New York Times, Omer Bartov, who grew up in Israel, served in the military, and became a historian on genocide, states that if Hamas were “just to surrender” the hostages to Israel, there would be no incentive for Israel to refrain from wiping out Palestinians in Gaza. Bartov, who is an Israeli citizen, goes on to explain why his beloved country is currently conducting an unethical genocide.
Anthony Aguilar is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel who served 25 yrs. In the Army Special Forces as a Green Barret. He received a Purple Heart as well as a Bronze Star in 2005 combat.
Anthony was recruited by UG Solutions to help with The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation or GHF. After the four distribution sites, he says GHF is full of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Israel kicked out the United Nations who had 400 sites and fed 2.1 million people a day. The GHF, which is privately run, he attests, for 64 days from May 26th, has only distributed the equivalent of 14 days’ worth of food to the entire population of Gaza.
Not only are people starving to death, but there are also only 4 sites distributing food, which are strategically placed where civilians in desperate need of food are in the middle of military combat. Civilians who oversee the food distribution are given weapons designed to kill. They fire at innocent civilians. In a clip he shot that has gone viral, a GHF worker took shots at civilians leaving the food distribution site, unarmed. He is heard saying “Woo-hoo”. Another GHF worker shouts, “I think you hit one” The shooter then shouts “Hell, yea, boy!” He continues to describe, as a former Lieutenant Colonel would understand, the details of war crimes against civilians. Interview on Democracy Now July 29th, 2025. Please watch this video for yourself.
GHF denies this is happening, President Netanyahu of Israel says there is no starvation. Of course, bullies lie. However, they do not allow international journalists in. In fact, they have murdered multiple journalists who have gotten in. Many of them currently in Gaza are also starving.
Sky News has a 27:55-minute video on YouTube: Doctors on the frontline: Victoria Rose and Tom Potokar Take You Inside the War On Gaza. This video is a heart wrenching inside view from doctors who have also taken on the role as journalists to accommodate their scarcity. Please view this on your own if you believe this is not serious.
CNN reports on July 30, 2025, For first time, two leading Israeli human rights groups accuse Israel of Genocide in Gaza, by Ivana Kotttasova and Abeer Salman: B’Tselem, one of the 2 Israeli humanitarian groups calling out the genocide, states it’s duty is to speak the truth, it goes on to describe why the evidence from its own sources as well as thoroughly vetted organizations, conclude the war in Gaza is genocide and ethnic cleansing. They also go on to condemn leaders in Europe and The United States for enabling the actions.
This is just the beginning of evidence of genocide in Gaza.
The question for Christians is, will we do something?
Jesus said to love your neighbor as yourself. If you were a mother, father, aunt, uncle, teacher or mentor in Gaza, watching the children you love get blown apart or slowly starving to death, would you ask people to speak up for them? I am not talking about violence, I am talking about speaking out, as a Christian, for the children of the world.
One of the first songs you may have learned if you grew up in a Christian household, was “Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world…” We never threw clauses in there, such as, “except the Palestinian children in Gaza”.
Please, let’s try to love the Palestinian children in Gaza as though they were the children in our own circles, because they are somebody’s child, grandchild, niece, nephew, student.
We can join organizations fighting to stop the slaughter.
We can make statements of faith that denounce actions of genocide.
We can seek truth, look for evidence, get a little uncomfortable for the sake of our neighbors who are being exterminated.
We can tell friends and organizations what is really going on, because there are so many lies, making it seem very complicated, when in fact, it is obvious.
We can write to our representatives. If you join groups like Amnesty International, they will send you texts that have all the information you need to call your representatives. They even find who they are for you if you give them your address. It could not be easier.
Will you make small steps to attempt to stop another genocide? We may not stop it, but we, as Christians, should be striving to assist our neighbors, just as The Good Samaritan stepped out of his busy day to assist someone who was bullied.
