PILLAY, Jerry. Apartheid in the Holy Land: Theological reflections on the Israel and/or Palestine situation from a South African perspective. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2016, vol.72, n.4, pp.1-9. ISSN 2072-8050.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v72i4.3434.

I first attempt to draw a comparison between the Israel-Palestine conflict and the South African experience of apartheid. Drawing on other established sources and personal experience, I conclude that, while there may be some differences between the two contexts, in essence, the similar experiences of colonialisation and racialisation makes the apartheid comparison compellingly relevant. I then proceed to theologically explore the themes of justice and reconciliation and what it may mean in the context of Israel-Palestine whilst extracting from the South African experience. The article also offers some reflections on the role of the Church in addressing the Israel-Palestine conflict.
