Shane Claiborne on the cutting of the water supply in Gaza:
I just keep thinking about that time Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they “didn’t know the things that would lead to peace.” For decades, the state of Israel has been crushing the people of Gaza and the West Bank, doing things that do not lead to peace. In response, Hamas has chosen to terrorize and kill people, doing things that also do not lead to peace. Now Israel is returning the harm, dropping bombs and killing women and children, which certainly does not lead to peace. I’m pretty sure Jesus is weeping over Jerusalem… and Gaza… right now. Maybe we should be weeping with him. Let us each take a moment to pause and pray… Let’s ask ourselves and our God, what are the things that lead to peace? What does love require of us at such a time as this? What does it look like to resist injustice without mirroring injustice? What does it look like to stand against terror without becoming terrible? What does it look like to choose the way of the cross rather than the sword, and to follow the enemy-loving Jesus, the Prince of Peace?
