The real problem in the Middle East

I approached this text with more than a little trepidation, partly because of the extraordinary complexity of the Israel-Palestine situation — a situation which often seems to polarise Christian opinion between those who think that Israel can do no wrong and those who think it can do nothing right, all based on various readings of Scripture! — and also because I feared a political angle, perhaps anticipating a rather facile pro-American, pro-Israeli conversion story.
