Beliefnet Bloggers Rabbi Brad Hirschfield<\/a> and David Gibson<\/a> have had an interesting, heated and apparently productive debate that was initiated by a Catholic comparing Gaza to a concentration camp. \u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
From the last post by Rabbi Hirschfield<\/a>:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to Pontifications blogger, David Gibson, for engaging in one of the more interesting Catholic-Jewish conversations in which I have participated in some time.\u00a0His recent post about Catholics, Jews and events in Gaza\u00a0<\/a>pointed me to the work by John L Allen of the National Catholic Reporter. I can not thank him enough.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the piece, Allen quotes the sage comments of Jesuit Fr. Federico Lombardi. Speaking on Vatican Radio, the Vatican spokesman remarked: “Hamas is a prisoner of a logic of hatred,” Lombardi said, “Israel of a logic of trusting in force as the best response to hatred.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One could argue each of those claims, I suppose. In fact, I can imagine the advocates for each side in this conflict already gearing up to do so. But regardless of which side one supports, I am quite certain that we all could learn from reflecting seriously on Fr. Lombardi’s words. Catholic or not, pro-Israel or pro-Hamas, he could teach us all a thing or two.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
