DP#10
Jesus would solve the conflict between Israel and Palestine by identifying the cause of the problem and then work to mediate so that the perspectives of both sides could be heard. Just like in the Parable of the Tenants, there is a stone that the builder rejected, Jesus would make sure that didn't happen through the way he would mediate the conflict. The Good Samaritan challenges us not to be the person who just walks by the problem and waits for someone else to do something, but rather the person who stops and helps. In this situation, Jesus would be that figure, thus starting to gradually break the cycle of oppression.
