"Any attempt to cloak the most extreme forms of human suffering with a view that sees in it intrinsic meaning fails to address the suffering we meet at the heart of the Shoah. Indeed, after Auschwitz we may say that it is a moral and spiritual outrage to justify anyone’s suffering, whether the most despicable human being or the Messiah himself, for some transcendent reason."
— Henry Knight
Today I begin my trip in Jordan and Israel/Palestine. I think this quotation is of particular relevance to the situation in these lands.
We cannot justify anyone's suffering.
