Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

 QUESTIONS

  1. Does anyone pray for unity and no more killings between Israeli and Palestinian Christians?
  2. Does praying for the peace of Jerusalem include praying for a humanitarian ceasefire for fewer Gazans of all faiths to be killed by Israeli Jews and Christians?
  3. Should people of integrity, and not just Christian believers, now consider distancing themselves from armaments and drone sales to Israel?
  4. Is Israel a good Samaritan to Gaza and the Occupied West Bank?
My own view is:  Israel should stop bombing Gaza.  Full and permanent ceasefire.  Work for permanent reconciliation and peaceful co-existence.  An end to the UK and US bombing campaign on Yemen.

READ the children's story, 'The Squirrels Who Squabbled'.

A parable for we humans squabbling over land and, simultaneously a modern-day David and Goliath story except the Goliath (Israel this time) wins every time to consolidate his position, power and monopoly over land!
