Because Jesus’ call of peacemaking means refusing war’s dehumanization and working for the justice of all, Sojourners is demanding our government advocate for a cease-fire.
God commands both truth and action — and forbids their opposites: “You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand idly by when the blood of your neighbor is at stake: I am the Lord,” (Leviticus 19:16). Right now, refusing to stand idly by means advocating for our own government to use its power rightly.
TAKE ACTION NOW to President Biden demanding our government apply the maximum diplomatic pressure to negotiate an immediate cease-fire and an unimpeded flow of sufficient medical aid, water, food, and fuel to Gazan civilians.
