| Advent 3 : Matthew 11:2-11 (NIV) Israel & the occupied Palestinian territory ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’ This reading strikes a warning. Already the storm clouds are gathering. Even before Jesus is born, we are reminded of the mounting opposition that will follow him through his life and will ultimately put him to death. His teaching has been so counter-cultural, the kingdom of God he proclaims so strange, that even John the Baptist misunderstands who he is. At this time of year, we may ask ourselves what we are looking for. As we turn aside from exhausting pre- Christmas business, from the high street expectations of what will fulfil us, from all the millions of things we have to do, what do we find? Perhaps a quiet church? Perhaps a moment of stillness? Perhaps a lit candle? But is this really it? Asking ourselves what we hope to find in the context of the world may not be so different. Situations like the one in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory may simply feel too complex, too political, too tangled to even start to understand, let alone to engage with. The human cost to the conflict in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory is almost as unthinkable as the politics. Living under occupation, many ordinary Palestinians are prevented from accessing the medical treatment they need. Christian Aid partner Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) is an Israeli organisation working to protect the right to health for people of all faiths, races and backgrounds. It does this through advocacy and campaigning, supporting permit application procedures, and petitioning to the Israeli High Court of Justice. It also provides primary medical services. Every Saturday, volunteer Israeli and Palestinian doctors and nurses travel to the West Bank with mobile clinics. Not only do these mobile clinics provide supplementary medical care, but it is a rare opportunity for Israelis and Palestinians to meet in a non-conflict situation. A mobile clinic may seem little defence against a hard and concrete separation barrier. But we read remarkable details of people’s lives that have been immeasurably improved by PHRI. Waleed, aged 13, was born deaf and has been given a hearing aid by PHRI. Now, his mother tells us, ‘He’s far less shy… it’s surprising [because] suddenly his whole personality changed.’ Amani Abbadi, who brought her baby son into the clinic, sick with fever and diarrhoea, was able to access a well-stocked and free pharmacy. Salsabeel Al Arabsi, whose family have been helped by PHRI to apply for permits, is able travel to East Jerusalem for dialysis three times a week. Dr Eran Kozer, a volunteer paediatrician, tells us that ‘for some of these children, this is their only opportunity to see an Israeli without a uniform. To see an Israeli who is kind to them. It is an opportunity for us to show something different.’ And it is not only Palestinians who see a different view. One of PHRI’s volunteers, an Israeli doctor, told PHRI that going through the West Bank with the mobile clinic, he saw all the small villages and the grapevines that reminded him of his military service, but that now they gave him a different feeling. Then he wore a uniform and was armed with a gun, but now he wears a white coat and is armed with his doctor’s bag, and he feels happier and safer. ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’ The birth of Jesus utterly dispels any fantasies of God as some kind of superhero. Instead, it tells us of God born in our midst, coming from the inside, as small and fragile as a smile of kindness to or from a Palestinian teenager, as a moment’s peace in a stressful world, as a little child born in a manger. This is the kingdom of God and this, Jesus tells us, will bring a world of health and healing and integration for all God’s people. (c) Christian Aid |
