Bakewell Quakers has added its support to a joint statement issued by a number of Quaker organisations, including Quakers in Britain, condemning the violence in Palestine and Israel and calling for action to bring about peace.
Quakers believe in the inherent worth of every individual and have a history of working with both Palestinian and Israeli communities in the region. The statement calls for immediate action to end the killings and suffering, starting with a permanent cease fire, the release of hostages and prisoners, and unrestricted humanitarian access in Gaza.
