The Battle for the Character of the State of Israel

This week in Israel a small community near Bethel, called Givat Assaf (Asaph's Hill), was removed due to a ruling by the supreme court. This was based on a claim that the land was owned by Palestinian Arabs. On a trip to Israel a few years ago, I had the privilege of visiting Givat Assaf, hearing the story behind the community and meeting some of the residents. This incident, although small, highlights a very real struggle for the character and soul of the nation of Israel. Welcome to Bible in the News, this is David Billington.
