By her own admission, Bishop Mariann Budde has remained “largely silent” about the genocide in Gaza, except when she was pushing Israeli propaganda or engaging in vague, liberal hand-wringing about “peace” and “love” without ever clearly condemning the perpetrators of mass slaughter and starvation of Palestinians, demanding that the US stop the flow of weapons making it possible or calling for accountability.

This type of evasion serves no one.

This is a segment from The Electronic Intifada's livestream from the fifth day of the Gaza ceasefire. Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Jon Elmer and Asa Winstanley were joined by Dyab Abou Jahjah, a Belgian-Lebanese political activist and writer and co-founder of The Hind Rajab Foundation, and Donya Abu Sitta live from Gaza.
