Ever since the flailing collaborationist authority in Ramallah began seriously floating the idea of unilaterally declaring Palestinian statehood in the West Bank and Gaza, I’ve been meaning to write a post on what this would mean for the Palestinian struggle for justice. Such a declaration would do away with the final card the PA’s leadership has [...]

College students Leslie Pope and John Wagner went to Lehigh Pub in Bethlehem with half a dozen of their friends on Oct. 23 for happy hour but instead of having a great experience at the pub, they got handcuffed and arrested for...

I set out my views on the news of settlements in East Jerusalem earlier in the week. They have undoubtedly reinforced scepticism about the chances of peace in the Middle East. But I was also struck by the announcement this week that forty-two Palestinian security personnel were being investigated for abuses. That might look like bad news. It's not. I've seen with my own eyes in Jenin how the Palestinian...

Pope and John Wagner were hauled away by police and charged with theft for not...

Some of you will know for the last many years I have attended a Scripture Union camp called Hebron and this year I returned as a leader. The Hebron week at the beginning of the summer holidays has been a week that I have always looked forward to and it has been a time that I have made some great friend and really grown in my Christian faith. Hebron is a place where I have many life changing memories....
