Why the Church of England has got Israel wrong

Dr. James Patrick of the Love Never Fails alliance argues that the Archbishop of Canterbury's views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict do not represent all British Christians. He states that the General Synod's endorsement of Kairos Palestine II and Archbishop Sarah Mullally's pastoral letter risk deepening divisions and presenting a one-sided account. Patrick highlights that Kairos Palestine II accuses Israel of "genocide" and being "racist" and colonialist, claims he asserts are antisemitic and rejected by the UK government. He emphasizes that Israel's democracy is diverse, with Arabs participating fully, and that Israeli authority in Jerusalem since 1967 has ensured complete freedom of worship for all religions. Patrick also criticizes the pastoral letter for not calling on Palestinian society to reject violence and for implicitly defending it, while ignoring the complexities of the conflict and the suffering of both Jewish and Arab communities.
