The Urgency for Solidarity. A testimony of hope in a broken land
In recognition of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, we are honored to share a powerful reflection written by Bethlehem Bible College graduate Anthony Khair.
In a time when the people of Palestine continue to endure unimaginable loss and hardship, Anthony offers a deeply moving meditation on faith, resilience, and the sacred call to stand with the oppressed. His words invite us to see solidarity not as a political posture, but as a Christ-centered act of compassion, justice, and shared humanity.
