Tell it to SunStar: We pray for just peace in Palestine and Israel

By the National Council of Churches in the Philippines.It has been nearly a month since the outbreak of violence between Palestine and Israel. On Oct. 9, 2023, in response to the attack and the taking of prisoners-of-war by Hamas in Israeli territory, the latter retaliated with a relentless bombing campaign resulting in at least 8,525 Palestinians killed and at least 21,048 injured.

The modern state of Israel was created through what Palestinians call the Nakba , which refers to the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Israel, with its military superiority and backing from many western countries, has forcibly occupied additional Palestinian territories through the years.
