We are exhausted. We live in fear and terror.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Settler violence in the West Bank has become a daily, relentless reality. Families attacked in their homes. Farms burned. People killed. And Palestinians left defenceless with no protection and no accountability.<\/p>\n<p>Munther does not want to share statistics today. He is tired of numbers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not numbers. We&#8217;re not headlines. We&#8217;re talking about mothers, fathers, children, grandparents &#8211; with names, with stories, with futures that are being cut short.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He calls us to pray. Not as a substitute for justice, but because we believe God hears the cry of the oppressed.<br \/>Then he calls us to act. To speak. To write. To mobilize. To refuse to look away.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We owe it to every family living in fear today. We also owe it to our faith.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Watch the message here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/1764143398139087\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">www.facebook.com\/reel\/1764143398139087<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a message from the Bethlehem Institute for Peace and Justice, Rev Munther Isaac appeals: &#8220;Every day we&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253429,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[153,155,154],"class_list":["post-253428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
