To further add to the political distance, on Thursday, April 4th, President Biden called for “an immediate ceasefire” in Gaza and told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that “the overall humanitarian situation” was “unacceptable.” Indeed, the entire “U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined” by the Biden administration’s “assessment of Israel’s immediate action” address the humanitarian conditions on the ground.

How should Christians think about this present crisis? Here’s the point. Moral clarity is most needed right now. Hamas is evil. Let’s be clear. Their insistence on genocide, human sacrifice, and human body shields to defend, promote, and achieve their geopolitical ambitions should never gain the sympathy of anyone with a moral conscience. Christians must be outspoken about the realities of terrorism, violence, and fear that is being orchestrated and promoted by Hamas and has earned the praise of the most reprehensible advocates in the Western world. Christians cannot lack moral clarity when it is needed most right now.
