29. “The media tries to paint this as two forces that we have to bring together and try to resolve their difference. One is terroristic and the other supports the core biblical values of life, liberty and justice. There really is no problem choosing sides between Hamas and Israel. The Palestinian people are the ones we love, along with the people of Israel, but the abuse of the tyrannical leaders of the Palestinians is just incalculable. Hamas is terrorizing its own people and the people of Israel, and if they had a chance, they’d terrorize America too.” ~ Dr. Paul de Vries, president of the New York Divinity School - http://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-leaders-meet-in-ny-to-support-israel-say-hamas-conflict-is-a- defining-issue-of-our-time-123880/ Christian Leaders Meet in NY to Support Israel; Say Hamas Conflict is a ‘Defining Issue of Our Time’
