THOUGHTS ALONG THE JOURNEY

While reflecting on the current crises betweens Jews and Muslims and work being carried out between the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Western Wailing Wall I had this to say to a friend in an email. “When we (an Aussie friend and I) were in Jerusalem we saw demonstrations between the Jews and Muslims. In my opinion they seem to enjoy antagonising each other, just like little kids arguing “you hit me first”, “no, you hit me first” and the tit for tat goes on and on and on. One side throws stones, then the other side uses bullets, then the other side plants a car bomb, then the other retaliates with economic sanctions. It is the same pattern over and over again. Having learnt the hard way that violence does not work I think they should both grow up!!! End of homily.
