'Friday evening, while readying to board a plane to Tel Aviv from John F. Kennedy Airport, I casually observed Israelis and some American Jews and Christians in the waiting lounge. Despite the recent conflict between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip, with all the attendant rocket firings into Israel by these terrorists, there was a sense of calm and assuredness. That’s typical of the psyche and enduring deep confidence of the Jewish state.

This recent “war” is just one in a never-ending series of similar historical events in modern times, beginning with the War of Independence in 1948, after the United Nations granted Israel statehood. Since that time, Arabs and other Muslims have been unrelenting in their never-ending desire to destroy Israel and annihilate the Jewish people altogether. (Christians are not far behind on this hit list.) Nothing new, I thought while waiting to board the flight, so why get uptight? This hatred dates back thousands of years. Indeed, the roots of this religious war stem in large part from a fundamentally different concept of God. Generally speaking, the Muslim god is a hateful god who teaches to kill all “infidels” in the name of Allah – “infidels” being non-Muslims – and the Judeo-Christian God is a loving one, typified by the teachings of Moses and Jesus Christ.'
