Palestinian Christians Slam Pence’s Pro-Israel Faith
posted on January 24, 2018The Associated Press’s Karin Laub reports, “Palestinian Christians say U.S. Vice President Mike Pence’s brand of evangelical Christianity, with its fervent embrace of modern-day Israel as fulfilment of biblical prophecy, lacks their faith’s compassion and justice, including for those who have endured half a century of Israeli occupation.” Palestinian Christians strongly criticized Pence on Monday for ignoring the plight of Arab Christians. Laub notes that most Palestinians are Muslim, but there is a minority of Christians in the West Bank.
