Can You Be Pro-Israel and Pro-Palestinian? Here's the Truth

About this sermon

I’ll be honest with you—I’m tired. Tired of being labeled “the Israel guy,” tired of the false binary that says I have to choose sides. I love Israel. I love its people. But more than anything, I love God, and I love God’s word. That’s where I start. Micah 6:8 calls us to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly. So when I talk about Israel, the Palestinians, and the land between them, I come not with politics, but with faith, truth, and a deep desire for peace. This video isn’t about picking one side over another. It’s about rejecting the oversimplified hashtags and slogans that dominate social media. You can—and must—stand with Israel’s right to exist and defend itself, while also mourning the suffering of innocent Palestinians. Supporting human rights and condemning terrorism are not contradictory. They are essential if we want lasting peace. The truth is, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is complex. Pretending otherwise only deepens the wounds. We need to speak out—against anti-Semitism, against terrorism, and also for the dignity, safety, and future of all people in the region. If you care about peace, you must learn to do both. This is not a war of sides. It’s a call to rise above hatred, to walk in justice, mercy, and humility. That’s what I’m doing in this video. And I hope you’ll join me.
