Reconciliation in a No-Trust Environment

May 30, 2024

What conditions are needed for post-conflict reconciliation, and is it even possible in a no-trust environment? On October 7th, Hamas carried out a brutal attack, systematically killing their neighboring Jews, shattering the trust many in Israel’s southern kibbutzim had been working to establish through years of peace advocacy.

Luke Moon joins Dominique to discuss the challenges to reconciliation in the Israel-Palestinian context, including vastly different religious interpretations of what justice and peace mean for all parties involved. Psalm 85:10 highlights four pillars essential to reconciliation: truth, mercy, righteousness, and peace. The concept of reconciliation is a Christian principle. Many historical examples demonstrate that achieving reconciliation outside a Christian context is possible, but the barriers to achieving it are high.

Is reconciliation in this historic and long-lasting conflict even attainable in our current moment?
