Clay, I enjoyed reading your response. Blessed are the peacemakers – you are so right that we are in a unique position to serve in that capacity in regard to this conflict. I do agree that the instinct of many in the U.S. is to immediately (whether consciously or unconsciously) divide a conflict into two sides and force ourselves to choose between the two without acknowledging both. There must exist a solution that both parties can agree to without sacrificing one people group in order to support another.
