I think you are making a lot of assumptions about what I believe as a Christian... I don't believe salvation comes from Jesus coming....it comes from believing that He is the son of God and died for my sins.

All that aside, I wrote this piece from an international relations/foreign policy perspective.....not from a religious one. The point of it is--that if Palestinians truly wanted peace and sovereignty---they should have recognized that their leaders (and the people who support those leaders) have failed. For example. I am Guatemalan. The US took part in policies that hurt Guatemala (and so did Israel for that matter). But I can't blame the US nor Israel for the current poverty levels in Guatemala. Our own people betrayed us....our own people killed each other (some of the worst were those who claimed to be Christian), our own people hurt our economy because of greed and corruption.

My heart goes out to any truly innocent Palestinians caught in the crossfire whether Christian or not---but to blame Israel for every evil while ignoring the corruption/greed of Hamas/PA, and failures at the negotiation table, ---is counterproductive.
