Bible In The News

This week Israel opened river dams in the south of the country, causing flooding in the Gaza strip, according to the Mail Online. The piece continued “Hundreds of Palestinians left homeless by heavy flooding after water levels in Gaza Valley rise by up to 10 feet”.  Al Jazeera reported “Gazans flee floods caused by Israel’s dams opening”, and AFP “Gaza village flooded as Israel opens dam gates”.  Russia Today, AFP, PressTV and other news sites carried similar reports and weighed in with their condemnation of Israel.  Furthermore, the Mail Online added that “The flooding was today compounded after an Israeli power company cut electricity to two of Gaza’s major West Bank cities” while Al Jazeera reminded us that “Floods in Gaza Strip exacerbate humanitarian crisis” resulting from last summer’s war.
