While watching events unfold in the Middle East marching towards a crescendo, we see the same “war” here in the states between Hamas supporters and Israel supporters, and it too is marching towards the same battle that is being fought in the Middle East.

While some may claim a sort of comfort in knowing that other countries are are waging the same battle, such as France where buildings throughout Paris are being marked with Stars of David graffiti aiming to “terrify.” In Germany, Jews are being spit on and swastikas are being scratched into their doorbells.
