“In many countries, those who are standing up for Palestinian rights and calling for justice, now find themselves having draconian laws implemented against them, which is why we must not stop.” Chris Rose writes that many Palestinians feel that they are living through the Longest Good Friday.

“I will not ask us to hope or pray for an unwinding of tension and for calm to spread — we all want that — but it’s not the point. Instead, this Easter, I would ask that we commit ourselves again to justice, human rights, seeing the humanity in the person before us.” Chris Rose writes about the situation at Al-Aqsa Mosque during Easter 2023.
