Introduction
Sumud, or steadfastness, is a uniquely Palestinian strategy to resist occupation by remaining present on the land despite the continued hardships experienced in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt). In short, sumud “suggests staying put, not giving up on political and human rights.”1 The term gained usage after 1967 when “Sumud Funds” were created in Jordan to “make the continued presence of Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem economically possible” during rapid settlement building and Palestinian emigration.2Sumud, transformed from a top-down strategy, is “neither new nor static. Just as Israel’s policies in the [oPt] have changed, so have sumud policies and strategies.”3 The sumud strategies discussed in this paper relate to “hope-based nonviolent strategies” that highlight the power of the common citizen.4

Rachel Weeping for Her Children: Death and Light in Bethlehem [Book Review]
One gift I received this Christmas was a book on my wish list: Yet in the Dark Streets Shining: A Palestinian Story of Hope and Resilience in Bethlehem.
The book presents snapshots from the childhood and ministry of Bishara Awad, a remarkable Palestinian Christian who founded Bethlehem Bible College (BBC). It was cowritten in 2021 by Awad and Mercy Aiken, an American who came to BBC in 2015 as a volunteer.
This is a book that more North American Christians should read. It gives a perspective that is often overlooked by American evangelicals, including many Anabaptists: the testimony of our Palestinian brothers and sisters who have lived for centuries in the Holy Land. Although Yet in the Dark tells this story only up to 2002, it is more relevant than ever, given that the "hopes and fears of all the years" of Palestinian Christian history are being tested right now perhaps more than ever. (See this article about another Palestinian pastor who is the current academic dean of BBC and also director of Christ at the Checkpoint, a conference challenging evangelicals to become kingdom Christians and help resolve the conflict in Israel and Palestine.)
