Grace Ji-Sun Kim thinks that Christianity forces many of its adherents into binary dualistic thinking with unfortunate consequences in the current Israel-Hamas conflict:
"Christianity is so deeply embedded and rooted in dualism that it pits one against another. Dualism separates categories, concepts and ideas into two distinct camps. For example, we have male and female (or masculine and feminine), spirit and body, heaven and earth."
"This dualism is in play right now and pitting us to choose Palestine or Israel. In such a world, if anyone shows support for Palestine or for the Palestinians, then they must be antisemitic.
This dualistic narrative must be destroyed. We need room to be both/and. Our crisis today cannot be easily discussed as if it is an either/or."
One can be resolutely opposed to BOTH anti-semitism and to Islamophobia. And resolutely pro-justice for both sides.
