Meanwhile, the Holy Land burns. There seems to me to be a kind of arrogance in treating your enemy like a child who needs to be punished (more severely than the original offence). That can go only one way. It’s also questionable whether it’s a good idea to treat a child like a child in that sense.
Please pray for Israel and Palestine.
Also today is Ascension. To oversimplify, Jesus escapes the bonds of place and time to be available to all people everywhere. We Christians too like our holy places for psychological reasons, but you’d hope we’d be able to realise they are not core to our faith. Peace is more important than place; as are justice, faith, love, forgiveness.
