    So, Sizer wants to “Read scripture in the service of the Gospel in the Palestinian context”

    OK.

    Sizer’s Christ repudiated the suicide bombers and Tamimis of his day. He didn’t give speeches while sharing, uncriticaly, platforms with them. He repudiated the Al Aqsa mosque, and prophesied its destruction, and the scattering of the Palestinian Muslims and Christians of his day by the forces of western imperialism.

    Then the new Christian population formed, largely from the colonists who came in the wake of that scattering, which, they said, Christ had said was ‘Palestinians’ just fate for rejecting him.

    Sizer’s Christ rejected the Islam of his day, and said ritual Islam was no longer necessary for his followers.

    Sizer’s Christ was brought by the imams and Mufti of his day to the representative of western hegemony as a rebel, and executed by them.

    Sizer’s Christ was jeered and mocked by the Muslims of his day, as he was dying.
