I would highly suggest people checking out the links on this site to either Google news or Ten by Ten to check out what is currently happening in Palestine right now. This is a great start for Palestinian freedom. We should be disgusted that our nation continues to take the side of Israel, one of the most evil nations in the world today. I know that is a bold statement, and that all of the Christians who are urgently seeking to force Jesus to come back as soon as possible want to support them no matter what, but the truth is that the people of Palestine have been abused and systematically robbed for too long. Today is an encouraging day, though we know that there is still much to be done before we can call anything a success.
I would highly recommend Justice and Only Justice: A Palestinian Theology of Liberation by Naim Stifan Ateek if you are interested in learning the history, theology, or possible solutions to this very complicated crisis.
Peace,
Matt
Currently Reading: The newest issue of Sojourners, which is actually all about the Palestine/Israel conflict.

Matt, I got to meet and hang out with Naim Ateek a couple times this summer - and he is an amazing man. I haven't yet read the book, but I know that it's one that I want to read this year...thanks for your thoughts and support of the Palestinians...
