American Evangelicals Stand With Israel
For more than a week, Palestinian terrorists have fired at least 1,408 missiles at Israeli civilians.

Maintaining Clarity in the Debate over Gaza Tactics
If the past is any guide, increased conflict in Gaza will be accompanied by international demands for Israeli restraint, frivolous accusations of Israeli war crimes, and perhaps even complaints to the International Criminal Court. Before the outcry even has a chance to build, it’s important to remember how the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) actually applies to Gaza.
