This
 is an interesting and very encouraging article. These brothers and 
sisters in Christ are not antisemitic or anti-Israel. They do not want 
to see Israel destroyed or justify attacks on Jews or Israelis.

However,
 they are beginning to wake up to the fact that God loves the 
Palestinian people no less than He loves the Jewish people, and that 
abuses they are subjected to by the Israeli government and military and 
settlers are wrong.

As an evangelical Christian, I have always 
supported the peaceful struggle to end the occupation of the Palestinian
 people. I do not oppose Israel's existence, and would never want 
Israelis to be militarily occupied by Palestinians or ethnically 
displaced or killed. However, it hurts me to see that many evangelicals 
don't mind it when Israelis do these things to Palestinians. I know 
there are and always have been evangelicals who like me want to see true
 justice and peace in Israel and Palestine, but I am thankful to God 
that this movement is growing.

Praise the Lord!
