Critics of Israel underweight everything good that comes out of this society. Defenders of Israel underweight everything bad.
Both groups are convinced of the unassailable rightness and reason of their position.
Both groups are consumed with fear.
Neither group acts in good faith.
Or with love.
===
I don’t know if I can truly love God – God is so very different from everything that I know.
But I can try and hope to become someone who loves what God loves.
And within that love, to hold both criticism and defense in balance, as loving gestures themselves.
