“If you find yourself in real solidarity with Palestinian Christians, and you want to know if it is love for Jesus, or just your nascent inner-anti-Semite rising, just ask yourself this question . . .

Clear and Direct Push Offs

“The world is full of people who cross boundaries, and Christian women (wanting to be gracious) will often have difficulty telling a random stranger to pound sand.
