When responding to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the present, I believe it is important for Christians to keep the sad history of Christian antisemitism in mind because in order to move forward and make the necessary changes it is important to take a look back into history. In general, one must take into consideration the accounts that happened in the past to guide them in coming up with solutions to present problems. Without history, one will fail to make improvements in areas needed and continue to practice the same negative habits done in the past. Also, as Christians keeping the sad history of Christian antisemitism in our mind give us a sense of accountability for our errors and allow us the opportunity to begin to fix our mistakes by contributing to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict positively.
Altogether, history must be considered in our response as Christians to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the present, as this is a vehicle for the changes we want to see in the present.
