Sweden's new migration regime. Since this recent crackdown began, we've had friends who have been deported. They worked as nurses, had bought a house, and their kids had been in school here for years. theguardian.com/world/2026/j…

Important statement from the Heads of Churches in Jerusalem: “Christian Zionism” is a damaging ideology that sows confusion, wounds Church unity, and serves political agendas that threaten Christians in the Holy Land.

🔴 Forensic Architecture writes that the Gaza ceasefire is “legitimizing the next stage of Israel’s occupation, failing to stop the ongoing genocide and threatening to permanently shrink Gaza’s territory.” Their investigation shows Israel using the “yellow line,” imposed after the Oct. 10 ceasefire, to redraw Gaza’s map and force a permanent partition. ▪️Key findings: 1. Israel is transforming the yellow line into a permanent border, expanding military infrastructure and ethnically cleansing 54% of Gaza east of the line. 2. The yellow line is deliberately inconsistent. Palestinians who approach it are shot, while Israel’s own maps contradict the line’s real location on the ground. 3. Of the 27 yellow blocks FA identified, all were located beyond the ‘yellow line’ as indicated on Israeli maps. They encroach up to 940m further into Gaza. 4. Israel has carried out at least 25 attacks on civilians since the ceasefire, almost all outside the area it labels the “dangerous combat zone.” 5. Most attacks hit zones Israel told Palestinians were “safe”, including Gaza City and the previously designated “relocation zone” for people fleeing Gaza City. 6. Israel is demolishing entire residential blocks east of the yellow line, clearing land to turn mass displacement into permanent dispossession. 7. Controlled demolitions continued throughout the ceasefire, including verified military footage of buildings blown up in Shejaiya. 8. Nowhere in Gaza is safe. Israel continues to strike civilian areas and infrastructure west of the line, blocking Palestinians from rebuilding. 9. This is a blueprint for a smaller Gaza, carved up under the cover of a ceasefire and enforced by live fire, expulsions, and demolition.

This week we launched the God Loves Gaza campaign. There are all sorts of resources and ways to take action, and we are adding new ones all the time. Join the movement as we declare to the world “God loves Gaza, and so do we.” GodLovesGaza.org

This looks like a very exciting conference. If I wasn't presenting at another conference on the same day, I'd be there!

Has anyone out there switched from #NVivo to #RQDA for qualitative data analysis? Besides avoiding software licensing costs, what were your reasons for switching?

Check it out! We now have -- The Gospel of Trump. KDV... King Donald Version. All the Bible verses that talk about compassion and justice are redacted. Everything about welcoming immigrants, caring for widows and orphans, and loving enemies is gone. The 2000 verses that mention the poor and vulnerable are blacked out. There isn't much left. That's the point... thanks to my pal Rev. Robb Ryerse for curating this new "Bible" that shows how different the "Gospel of Trump" is from the Gospel of Christ. Let's follow Jesus... Not Trump. We'll be giving a bunch of copies away later this month! (oh and by "appendages" I mean "appendixes" 🤣)

A disheartening message today from a cousin in Gaza: “I say it frankly, we can no longer live. Help and save the people of Gaza. There is no food - no flour - no clean water - no medicine for treatment - no hospitals :( :(“ As I have mentioned, my cousins in Gaza are Orthodox Christians. They are not belligerents, yet they and about two million Palestinians have endured a year and a half of relentless bombardment, physical and psychological trauma, and extreme food and water shortages. They are weak, tired, sick, injured, hungry, and thirsty. Many are elderly or young children. They have no control over the situation. Everyone knows multiple persons who have been killed. In my own family, several of my cousins were killed in October 2023 when an Israeli strike destroyed part of the church complex in which they were sheltering. Many were just beginning their lives. Please pray for all the innocents in this catastrophe—whether Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or otherwise—Israeli or Palestinian. Please pray that all parties involved, including the United States, choose peace and humanity instead of more destruction and death.
