The violence between Israel and the Palestinians in the Middle East isn't easy to explain and, considering it's been going on since 1948, it's even tougher to prevent. President Trump's recent decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem has made the situation even more complicated, particularly for the Evangelical Christians in America who universally support Israel in these discussions.

Enjoy.
