Rev Mark Gray, a N Ireland Presbyterian  Minister, reflects: the people of Gaza are at the heart of darkness, in all its dystopian horror. But the way of tears through the blood of the slaughtered – perhaps – may not end where we dread. A junction has been reached. One direction allows Israel and its backers to continue driving Palestinians to extermination. The other leads to the establishment of a binational, authentically democratic, egalitarian state: equality in dignity and respect; equality in the right of return for refugees; equality in all things as the prerequisite for Palestinians and Israelis to live together.
