“While the love of American Jews for the State of Israel is evident in these presentations, it is accompanied by a genuine sense of compassion for the Palestinian people and the urgent desire for the just resolution of the tragic conflict between these two peoples. I strongly recommend these presentations as informative and helpful resources for Christians who also want and pray for peace in the Middle East.”
