Church of England votes to hear Palestinian Christians on Israeli genocide in Gaza
The Church of England's General Synod voted to engage with testimonies from Palestinian Christians criticizing Israel's actions in Gaza, despite objections from pro-Israel groups. The motion, which replaced 'receive' with 'hear,' acknowledged the Kairos Palestine document describing Israel as a 'colonial enterprise' and called for non-violent resistance to occupation while rejecting antisemitism.
