ENGAGE Sunday “Ethical Reflections on the War in Gaza”

Dr. Paul Jeffries of Ripon College will explore the ethical dimensions of the current war going on primarily in Gaza between the Israelis, Hamas, and the Palestinians. We will examine the cause of the immediate conflict but also include the wider context between Israel and the Palestinians. In trying to apply principles of justice and conflict studies, including consideration of just war theory, the presentation will engage the Unitarian Universalist Principles concerning the dignity and worth of persons (1st), justice, equity, and compassion (2nd), and the goal of a world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all (6th).
