“We do not have thousands of years to unlearn the wrong patters that were established over thousands of years.

“In his latest book Marc Ellis asks the defining question for Jewish life today: 'Can injustice, represented by Jewish domination of Jerusalem, be at the heart of the covenant?' Ellis's answer is that the covenant of Israel with God has been shattered by the creation of a state at the expense of Palestinian life in the land. It can only be renewed by a new ethic and practice of justice that reconcile these two people, who have become irrevocably linked together in the land, either for good or for ill.” PeopleHeartHas BeensTwoBookStatesTodayTogetherAsksJusticeAnswersPracticeLandCreationEthicsInjusticeIllIsraelExpensesPalestinianLinkedDominationDefiningCovenantShatteredReconcileJerusalemJewish Life Author:Rosemary Radford Ruether
