What Makes for Peace?
On June 6th of this year, I arrived at the Mount of Olives around 10 a.m. Alone, I
walked down the small road to the chapel called Dominus Flevit or “Jesus Wept.” I
took some pictures of Jerusalem across the Kidron Valley and then read Matthew’s
and Luke’s accounts of Jesus’ lamentations over Jerusalem. Luke sets this event
in the context of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, saying “And when he drew
near and saw the city he wept over it, saying, ‘Would that today you knew the things
that make for peace! But now they are hid from your eyes.’” (Luke 19: 41-42)
Over the next few hours, I meditated and wrote in my journal as one group of pilgrims after
another from all over the world came to this small garden chapel on the Mount of Olives to take in
the magnificent view of Jerusalem. I wondered, “What does make for peace?”
I was in Israel, Jordan, and Egypt this past June with a group of Berea College faculty who are teaching
a new required course for Berea students on “Understandings of Christianity” in a religiously pluralistic
world. As a new college graduate four decades earlier (1964-65), I sat in this same small chapel
garden on the Mount of Olives as a twenty-one-year-old teacher in a Quaker school on the West Bank.
At that time, I pondered the causes of violence that were occurring all over the world.
In the mid-1960s, America was sending advisors to Vietnam that would lead to our full-scale
involvement in the Vietnam War. The Civil Rights Movement was in full swing and innocent blacks
were shedding their blood over the right to vote as equal partners in American democracy. In Jerusalem
and the Middle East, we could already sense the tensions that were building up and

On our trip this summer, I met an older man named Elias Chacour who had been one of

the Zionist soldiers came to his village. His village of Biram was a small Palestinian

villagers set out for a nearby Christian village, hoping to lodge with friends
who lived there. That village had also been “evacuated.” A few old men
who remained told them that the soldiers had come and killed some of
the residents. Then the villagers of Biram saw their friends’ shallow graves.
That is the story of only two emptied villages, and over 400 Arab Palestinian
villages were cleared that way.
There were quite a few Arab Christian villages situated next to Jewish villages in this region at this time.

refugee camps abound with voices of violence intermingled with voices of hope and reconciliation.
After a week of Zionist soldiers living in his village, the commander called together
the elders of the village, saying, “There is violence moving this way. We encourage all of you to move
into the valley and neighboring hillside. We think we can protect you, but people may be killed if you
stay.” So the villagers gathered a few possessions, as they were told, locked their houses, and left
their keys with the commander. They went into the valley, climbed the next hillside, and then camped
As I pondered Jesus’ lament over Jerusalem and his own violent times, I realized that humankind had
