"Our word to the international community is to stop the principle of "double standards" and insist on the international resolutions regarding the Palestinian problem with regard to all parties. Selective application of international law threatens to leave us vulnerable to a law of the jungle. It legitimizes the claims by certain armed groups and states that the international community only understands the logic of force. Therefore, we call for a response to what the civil and religious institutions have proposed, as mentioned earlier: the beginning of a system of economic sanctions and boycott to be applied against Israel. We repeat once again that this is not revenge but rather a serious action in order to reach a just and definitive peace that will put an end to Israeli occupation of Palestinian and other Arab territories and will guarantee security and peace for all From the Kairos Document launched 2009 by Christians in the Holy Land http://www.kairospalestine.ps

I think every Christian and Muslim who is faithful to their religion should read this well-thought-out letter from Muslim scholars/leaders to heads of Christian Churches on the commonality of the two faiths including the two key commandments: loving God and loving your neighbor (wanting for your neighbor what you want for yourself).
