Israeli State Theology vs. Liberation and the struggle for justice: Unmasking the Gaza Crisis


Listen Later

Welcome to our podcast. Today we bring together Sahar Francis, a Palestinian human-rights lawyer; Reverend Ashraf Tanuz, pastor of the Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem; and Rev Dr Graham Adams, lecturer at Luther King House in Manchester, to discuss the situation in Gaza, Palestine and the West Bank.

We explore parallels with South Africa’s 1985 Kairos moment in the church's struggle against Apartheid, examine state theology, church theology and a Kairos theology of justice, and confront questions of collective punishment, settler-colonialism, and the difference between anti‑Semitism and criticism of the Zionist project. This episode seeks truth, solidarity, and a call for justice and human dignity.
