When “I follow the Lamb, not the Donkey or the Elephant” falls short
If “I follow the Lamb, not the Donkey or the Elephant” means I follow the Kingdom of Jesus and will live, advocate, and vote according to those values, and I will stand up to the Donkey and the Elephant when they aren’t, then I’m all for it.

But I couldn’t avoid noticing the polarizing sentiments of support around the conflict, seeing Israel flags and Palestine flags pop up on my Facebook friends’ profile pictures. As a pastor, hearing side conversations here and there of Christians discussing the war. I’d get targeted ads online telling me Christians need to support Israel. And I’d see more and more justice rallies popping up, most from my left-leaning and/or non-Christian friends, about supporting Palestine.
