Religious Groups Divided Over U.S. Role Regarding Hamas
The RNS full-text article of the week (linked above) looks at religious reaction to Hamas’ victory in the recent elections in Palestine.
Quote:
“Religious groups, who frequently have a limited but respected voice on foreign policy, say the emergence of Hamas moves the story beyond pure politics. Jews say their spiritual homeland is in peril, churches worry about the future of the dwindling Christian presence in the Holy Land, and nearly everyone is concerned about Hamas’ embrace of militant Islam.?
