"Black Church Leaders Demand End to U.S. Aid for Israel Amid Gaza Crisis"
The African Methodist Episcopal Church Bishops Council, a prominent Black Christian denomination, has called for the United States to end its financial aid to Israel, stating that the military campaign in Gaza amounts to "mass genocide." This statement comes as part of a broader push from Black churches and other faith groups for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict, with the A.M.E. council going further to demand an immediate stop to U.S. financial support of Israel.
