Amid conflict, churches place faith in divestment
Some say that church organizations that invest their holdings in companies that do business with Israel are contributing to what they see as the degradation of the Palestinian people.
Caged!
Will it never happen, I wondered, that a Muslim who regularly prays at the Ibrahami Mosque truly looks in the face of a Jew who regularly prays at Tomb of the Patriarchs (the two names for the same holy place on that street)? Will they not acknowledge each other’s presence? Will they not exchange greetings? The wall dividing them is not high enough to hide their faces from each other. And yet, something within me answered “no.”
