Papers Session: America and Israel/Palestine: Critical Approaches
Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
Gaza is a crucial litmus test for international morality and ethical standards in the twenty-first century. The Israeli onslaught on Gaza has exposed deep biases and blind spots in the West, as most of the Western establishment, political class, and churches have lined up to provide blanket support for Israel, politically, militarily, economically, legally, and theologically. This paper will address questions to be considered at this crucial juncture regarding responsibilities that theologians and scholars of religion and different faith traditions have in this moment.
