For more than 3000 years the holy land has been a fought over meeting point of empires. 
The land called holy is torn by conflict, hatred, fear and mistrust: the people; Jew, Christian, Muslim and those of no faith, have been poorly served by their leaders.
Should people be dispossessed, deprived of land, home, and dignity on the ground of their race. Europe’s persecution of Jews cannot justify Jewish persecution of Palestinians.
Our Christian witness to Jew, Muslim, to pagan, atheist and humanist is besmirched and compromised when suffering is allowed to go unchallenged whether in the Nazi Holocaust, or in Rwanda, or Cambodia or in Palestine. Remaining silent is not an option
