Violence in Israel and Palestine has to end if we are to find a way to lasting peace

EIFA greatly regrets the continuing conflict in the Middle East that has led to many injuries and the loss of life. We call on leaders to cease the violence against civilians in Israel and Palestine. Violence cannot bring about peace but will only lead to more violence and suffering.

As people of faith we recognise that all life is sacred and we ask our leaders to respect and value the rights of one another and commit to working together in sustained dialogue to find a way that all peoples can peacefully co-exist in the Holy Land. EIFA shall continue to promote understanding, helping groups to move beyond tolerance and towards acceptance, working towards peace in Scotland.
