We're Onto Them! 

     Thousands of American adults and students are shamefully misled about Hamas and other enemies of Israel. 

     We know that Israel's attackers are wicked mockers, arrogant, deluded, bloodthirsty and deceitful. They are men who hunt down the weak, in schemes they devise, haughty and sure of themselves.

     Their mouths are full of curses and lies and threats. They ambush and murder the innocent, and lie in wait to catch the helpless, dragging them off in their nets. 

     How do we know these things? 

     Truth in the Bible. You find the above descriptions in the first 10 chapters of the Psalms alone, written by David, possibly three millenniums ago. Later, Solomon, David's son:

     "What has been will be again; what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun." - Ecclesiastes (qahal) 1:9  

      What about our inventions? We say, what about human nature? 

     Today's spiritual forces of darkness are nothing new...the same attitudes faced by David. Today's Israelites can rely not only on their weapons, but more importantly - if they are believers - on David's prayer:

     "The Lord is King forever and ever; the nations will perish from his land. You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more." - Psalm 10:16-18
