Interest in the Holy Land and the Land of the Bible is natural. However, many church-run trips to Israel and the West Bank are highly politicized. When visiting Bethlehem, which holds unique relevance in Christianity, the impact of the security barrier on Palestinian life is emphasized, without noting the reason for its construction: massive terror campaigns against civilians in Israel. Similarly, missions may work with impoverished Palestinians in rural areas, adopting a narrative that blames Israel alone for the social and economic woes in the region.
