"Is Peace Out of Reach?"

Thirteen Minutes to Understanding Peace Prospects in Israel/Palestine

Kudos to CBS coverage of peacemaking in Israel/Palestine!!!!!!

Spend 13 minutes and take a look at Bob Simon's report on 60 Minutes on January 25, "Is Peace Out of Reach." He does an excellent job with on-site interviews and video footage of what is happening on the ground in Israel/Palestine to show why peacemaking is so difficult: http://endtheoccupation.org//article.php?id=1811 (the report comes on after a short commercial)

If you have already seen this report, watch it again and think about what you can do to help bring peace in Israel and Palestine or in your own community. Or click on the link above and look at other action alerts posted on the U.S. Campaign to End the Occupation.

Gracious God, we confess that our lives, too, depend on the displacement of others from the land. Like the settlers, our homes sit where others once lived and hunted, providing food for themselves. Help us, as inheritors of this legacy, to become agents of change - overturning the tables of authority wherever we see power misused in our world today. Amen.
