Unlike the ‘Christian’ ‘Peacemakers’ who don’t have the guts to try and protect their fellow Christians in Gaza, but stay safely in the West Bank, producing a steady drip of venom about the Israelis whose presence protects them, here are some real Christian peacemakers.
Displaying far more courage, as well as the sort of charity Christians are supposed to practise, a group of Christian volunteers are making themselves useful in Sderot.
Five Christian volunteers braved the heat and threat of Qassam rockets last week to help renovate an activities center for grandmothers in Sderot.
Apparently they do it without being nasty about anyone – not even the terrorists who are firing missiles in their direction.
Trystan Tregenza, 26, from Penzance, Cornwall, said, “It was a great insight into Sderot, my first visit to the town. There was loads of stuff we could have done, but we wanted to do some manual labor. It was nice to do something for the elderly.”
What’s unique about these Christian volunteers is that they already volunteer here in Israel at Bridges for Peace (BFP), a Christian organization dedicated to building relationships and understanding between Christians and Jews.
It’s about “building relationships and understanding” between groups of people, not about using pretended concern about justice as a mask for the injustice of anti-semitism. It’s positive and constructive, as well as quietly courageous – so called ‘Christian peacemakers’ take note.
