The heathens (Democrats) may as well deny Israel, they did the same to God Himself at the 2012 Democrat convention.
Having visited Israel in 2011 I could SEE that the Israeli Jews, Muslims and Christians DO "live and let live." They often even COOPERATE.
Bottom line: NO ONE can "explain" the middle east. One has to visit it, hear it, smell it, see it and taste it. All unique.
I would NOT want to live there but EVERY Christian OUGHT to save his/her pennies and take a tour of the Holy Land. Well worth it!!
