” ““The violence and aggression of this present moment is without proportion or justification. It is against law and reason to keep going in the way of death. The moral imperative is clear. Stop all the violence. Stop the killing. Protect the life and dignity of the people”. This is the strong condemnation of the Patriarchs and Heads of local Christian churches in Jerusalem of what is still happening in their land. In a declaration issued in the last few days and relaunched yesterday by the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, the religious representants “condemn the abduction of the Israeli soldier, the killing of the settler youth, as we condemn the daily abduction and killing of tens of Palestinians as well as the keeping of thousands of them in prisons. All human beings, Israelis and Palestinians, have the same dignity and must be equally treated. All aggression against human dignity, whether Israeli or Palestinian, must stop”. At the same time they call on “the International community to intervene and insist on a diplomatic solution to this conflict in order to reach the just and definitive peace”.
