Hi, Gary Steerman coming to you from the studios of Prophecy Watchers with our good friend Avi Lipkin. Avi travels a lot in America, and he is always watching the news, both here and of course in Israel where he actually resides. And we're going to continue our conversation with him as we ask

him about a number of very momentous happenings in Israel today. Avi Lipkin, it's always

good to see you. Welcome back to the prophecy. Yes. Thank you.

Now let's talk about the big fence, the fire kites, the rockets, the rockets, the things that we've been hearing about in the news between Israel and the Palestinians.

Okay.

We've spoken many times over the last 25 years about the differences in Judeo-Christian Western civilization and the Islamic behavior, the Islamic culture.

And here in the West, and in Israel, Jewish Israel really is an extension of Western Christianity.

And we believe in Fairplay. We believe in, you bless me, I bless you. Genesis 12-3, I will bless those who bless you, curse those who curse you. And basically, let's be good. Let's be good with each other. This is the Western way, the Judeo-Christian way, which I support. I'm married to Rachel, who's also Jewish. I'm Jewish. I was born in America, but I think like a Christian, because I was born and raised, went through American schools, and the spirit of America is a Christian, spirit, praise God. I think like a Christian. I moved to Israel 50 years ago. My wife is Jewish, but from

Egypt, she was raised until age 20 in Egyptian schools, and her culture is Islamic. So I'm Jewish,

I think like a Christian, she's Jewish, she thinks like a Muslim, and she understands them.

And one of the things my wife taught me is that in the Middle East,

you cannot be good. You have to be tough because in the Middle East, they respect tough, mean people.

And if you come and you're sweetie and you're nice, they laugh at you, they don't respect you.

I've heard Christians going to Muslim homes in Israel in the territories

in cleaning their bathrooms and cleaning this and doing that to show the love of Christ.

And the Arabs are sitting there and laughing their heads off.

These Christians are foolish.

They look at it as foolishness.

Wow.

Now, what we face today with the Palestinians

is the nicer we are,

the weaker we are considered.
