Respectfully, I cannot understand why Christians look the other way on this matter. Only in recent years did I decide to stop shaping my beliefs about politics on what was Conservative or from the Republican Party and decided to look through the lens of, stated broadly, the Christian Church. Whatever Middle East strategic interests my government might have, must never be at odds with the Church, for if we are at odds, then aren’t we guilty of eroding the civilization that was built on our faith and in doing so, eroding that civilization , in concert with those who also wish for the destruction of the rapidly contracting Christian tradition? There is no moral justification for the overkill we can call genocide in Palestine.
We'll have to agree to disagree on Hamas and Israel, but otherwise spot-on. Couldn't agree more.
