Is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict really about religion? Palestinian Christian Pastor Munther Isaac says it's not. 

Isaac pastors an Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bethlehem, where he uses his platform to speak out against Israel’s war in Gaza, and its occupation of Palestine. 

Isaac's views, and those of other Palestinian church leaders, are often at odds with the views of their counterparts in the West, where popular narratives about Israel and Palestine are frequently framed as a battle between Muslims and Jews, overlooking Palestine's Christian minority. 

On this episode of The InnerView, Imran Garda and Munther Isaac discuss the war in Gaza, life under Israeli occupation and how religious stereotypes perpetuate injustice.
