Reader Response : Thank you for coverage of this important event in Bern. The event makes me feel that we CAN make a difference. The point the theologians at the meeting made cannot be stressed enough: that we need to differentiate between the Israel of the Bible and Israel, the country. If we do not make this distinction, then we put one nation on earth above the law - or at the very least, we say that they are answerable to a different law from the rest of the world's nations.
