Ep.564: Should it be Israel or Palestine?

Theme Scripture: Genesis 13:14-15

Our world is full of controversy. There are controversies over politics, equal rights, taxation, economic principles, global warming and the right to life, to name a few. Amongst the most noted and longest lasting controversies of our day is the controversy over Israelies, the Palestinians, and the land that they both live on.
