We explore how Western Christianity and colonialism have shaped the political and religious landscape of Palestine, and how Palestinians have responded through traditions of ecumenism, solidarity, and resistance. Paul Catafago joins us to talk about the spirit of religious tolerance in Palestinian society, the historic roles of Christian intellectuals and leaders alongside their Muslim counterparts, the abandonment of Palestinian Christians by Western churches through Christian Zionism, and how these dynamics have deepened cooperation across faiths in the struggle for sovereignty.
