conflict

On the first anniversary of Hamas’ atrocious action against the Jewish civilian population and Israel’s retaliation—which has already resulted in nearly 42,000 reported deaths (about 18,000 of them children) and thousands more under the rubble, along with more than 2,000 dead in Lebanon—we, as followers of Jesus Christ in Latin America, join thousands of voices around the world in solidarity and in search of justice that leads to peace.

We humbly receive and affirm your call for Western Christian leaders and theologians to repent of our biased disregard towards Palestinians and your unjust and devastating suffering as well as of all theological articulations that promote or justify it.

In the face of unfolding violence in Palestine-Israel we, the International Fellowship for Mission as Transformation – INFEMIT, deeply lament and reject violence on all sides of the conflict; we are burdened by the loss of life; and we call followers of Jesus around the world to pursue peace and listen humbly to the voices of the suffering and the oppressed in the land.
