#justiceOPportunity Thursday: February 13, 2020

It’s #justiceOPportunity Thursday and we hope you will join us in supporting the human rights of the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination. We stand with the North American Dominican Promoters of Justice, Peace and Care of Creation (NADJPCC) in opposition of the “Deal of the Century,” a plan for peace between the Palestinians and Israelis proposed by the United States. Our belief as Dominicans, echoes the words of Pope Francis, spoken in 2019: “Peace, in effect, is the fruit of a great political project grounded in the mutual responsibility and interdependence of human beings.”  The “Deal of the Century” included no input from Palestinians and ignores the sovereignty of the Palestinian people.

As Dominicans, we support the Kairos Palestine Statement of Christian Palestinians about what is happening in Palestine.  In this statement we read: “This deal is in fact an insult to history, humanity, the Palestinian people, and American dignity itself.”  For the full statement, log on to: https://www.fosna.org/articles/kairos-palestine-deal-century.
