Judy, Most people in the USA, whether Christians or not, are not familiar with the issues in Palestine. We just see constant violence between the Israelis and the Palestinians without knowing why. It is good that someone like Jimmy Carter is making headlines to disclose the apartheid condition that is occurring in the land of the Palestinians.

Perhaps, it is because of the powerful lobby from some powerful Christian and Jewish groups who are supporting the Israeli policies, whether just or not. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: John, as you know--don't you?--this is only a relatively small segment of American Christians who are into the Rapture and Armageddon and so on. You really shouldn't use the term "Christians" without some qualification, as if what you were describing applied to all Christians in the country. A lot of liberal Christians are on the side of the Palestinians against Israel, for instance. John wrote: (snip) > That family karma is about right.
