Breaking Down the Dividing Wall

This post has been updated

The General Assembly of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) today passed a resolution calling on Israel to bring down the wall built by their government to divide Palestinians and Israelis. The wall has been criticized by Jewish Voice for Peace, Human Rights Watch, World Council of Churches and the United Church of Christ. In a separate resolution, the Disciples reaffirmed their stand against suicide violence and their support of peacemaking efforts. Both the current Israeli government and the Palestinian authority have been accused of gross human rights violations.
