Johnson County UN Association supports Secretary-General’s statement on Israel-Hamas conflict

We lament the suffering of and violence between Palestinians and Israelis this year, and all prior years. We support the statement of UN Secretary-General Guterres:

“Even in this moment of grave and immediate danger, we cannot lose sight of the only realistic foundation for a true peace and stability: a two-state solution. Israelis must see their legitimate needs for security materialized, and Palestinians must see their legitimate aspirations for an independent state realized. Finally, we must be clear on the principle of upholding human dignity. Polarization and dehumanization are being fueled by a tsunami of disinformation. We must stand up to the forces of antisemitism, anti-Muslim bigotry and all forms of hate.”

More difficult than retribution, radical love is required.
