Amnesty’s Report and the Work Ahead
“Crime of Apartheid”
Building on international consensus and echoing General Synod’s Resolution of Witness (2021), Amnesty International released a powerful report on February 1, 2022, identifying Israel’s systematic oppression of the Palestinian people “apartheid” and calling global communities to solidarity and action.
As a matter of faith and conscience, we urge UCC congregations to study our own resolution (Declaration for a Just Peace Between Palestine and Israel). In resources developed by our United Church of Christ Palestine Israel Network (UCCPIN), leaders will find a range of materials to facilitiate the resolution’s implementation in local settings and congregations. You’ll find all these resources in a single place here.
We pray for you all “courage in the struggle for justice and peace.”
