Author Calls on Israeli Government to Evacuate “Terrified” Palestinian Christians in Gaza
“They’re gonna rape the wives and the daughters, just like they’ve done in Syria, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, anywhere else where these guys operate.”
Author and American-Israeli public figure Joel Rosenburg has issued an urgent plea to the Israeli government to evacuate Palestinian Christians out of Gaza, who fear violence at the hands of Hamas.
“It’s a terrible situation, as you can imagine,” Rosenburg, a Christian of Jewish descent, wrote to Israel’s top political and military brass, as FaithWire reported. “Everybody in Gaza wants to be out of Gaza right now.”
Rosenburg explained that unlike the millions of Palestinian Muslims in Gaza, however, the roughly 1,000 Christians stranded in the warzone are likely to meet the same cruel fate as Hamas’ Israeli victims on October 7, who were brutally slaughtered by the hundreds at the literal hands of the wicked Islamic militants.
While the IDF has mobilized supplies to civilians trapped in the region, Christians have mostly sheltered in churches where their supplies are dwindling.
Israeli forces have told the Christians to move south, but they face a potentially dangerous situation if they leave their increasingly insecure sanctuary.
“If they are forced out of the historic church buildings — the safe havens, in which they are currently sheltering in and around Gaza City — and are sent to the south, they believe they face genocide, too,” Rosenberg wrote, urging Israel to find a safer exit plan for these at-risk Christians.
Let us pray fervently that God’s hand of protection would be over our brothers and sisters stranded in a seemingly impossible situation. May His light shine brightly before their path, calling many to the sanctuary of His love and salvation in the midst of such a cruel war.
