Israel and Palestine: are we part of the problem? - preview
In October I travelled to the West Bank to review the Quaker- sponsored Amari play centre in Amari refugee camp I have since written the review But when I was asked by the Friends World Committee for Consultation Europe and Middle East Secretary to write a personal reflection of my visit, I wondered if this would be much harder to compose
My reflections are twofold: inspiration and fear The inspiration is easier to discuss, and it is the very project I was sent to review What I found this October was a project that has, for the last thirty-five years, touched the lives of children and reached the poorest of the poor It has stood as a bridge of compassion, a play centre with a Christian identity serving a Muslim community For thirty-five years, Quakers worldwide and in Ramallah have supported this play centre My job as a reviewer was to make recommendations for its future and the report is written As a Quaker, though, I went home and reviewed our personal finances to see how I could help
