The Land of God, Israel
AsianInfo's recent trip to
Israel was very
exciting, but it was also a very difficult time for Israelis and
Palestinians. They had been in the middle of a war for several
weeks. The war started because of unceasing rocket fire from
Gaza into Israel over the past year. The rocket attacks seriously damaged several
Israeli villages and undermined Israel’s territories.
Israel started with air
attacks but the situation quickly escalated into a full scale ground invasion
into Gaza. Deep seeded issues brought on this war, not just
territorial issues. The conflict goes back in their history
throughout many generations.
It all started with
Abraham, their patriarch. You may have heard about the story of

Mount Moriah to try and sacrifice him to God. God stopped him and
provided a lamb for sacrifice instead and instead promised Abraham
that he would bless him and make him a great nation. more...
