THE CHURCH - OUR CAMPAIGN

There has been considerable progress in the stance of many Christian churches in recent times towards the cause of the Palestinian people.

Through a desire to work with all sectors of Irish society Sadaka recognises the importance of the role which faith based communities on the Island of Ireland have to play in furthering the cause of peace and justice in that part of the world known to Christians as the “Holy Land”.

The Church is a direct stakeholder in the issues surrounding the plight of all Palestinian people and of the Christian presence in particular. Sadaka in seeking to educate and raise the consciousness of the Irish people to the historical and contemporary aspects of the Israeli Occupation of Palestine and the denial of rights to the Palestinian people, Muslim and Christian alike, realises the vital role that faith based communities can play in this process.

We are currently building working relationships with representatives of a broad range of churches.
