Reply To: Why is it important for Christians to keep the sad history of Christian antisemitism in mind when responding to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the present?

Josh, you make a great point here. Oftentimes the world associates Christians with U.S. (and western) foreign policy at large. This often comes with the assumption that we are engaging this conflict with a perceived moral high ground. Israelis and Jews can sometimes encounter this problem when engaging with Palestinians due to the Western ties the country has, while Christians face this problem with both Israelis and Palestinians. Once again, engaging with openness and honesty is the only way to effectively engage with this conflict.
