It’s a tough subject – but important and unavoidable …

Here’s a remarkable conversation between an Israeli Jew and a Palestinian Christian.

If you sense, as I do, that Christian organizations often make the situation in the Middle East worse with some highly problematic theology mixed with equally problematic foreign policy, you’ll be especially interested in their suggestions for how churches in the US can make a positive difference. Pay special attention to Jessica Montell at 4:40-5:40 … so important! And don’t miss the important distinction made by Sami Awad from 5:40 – 6:40. Real wisdom there that can help us all be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.

Thanks to Dr. Mae Cannon for her important peace work with and for Israelis and Palestinians, and thanks for all who love both Israelis and Palestinians as neighbors, refusing to scapegoat or minimize anyone, whether in the name of God/religion or politics/ideology.
