LETTER BOX Christian Correspondent Criticizes Anti-Israel View Editor, The Jewish News: I was surprised to read that the general secretary on ecumenical commissions of the United Presby- terian Church, could not "condone by silence" Israel's "territorial ex- pansion by armed force." How can Dr. John Coventry Smith be a Presbyterian. unless he closes his eyes to all the blood shed by Gene- va Popery Calvinized? If John Cal- vin, the founder of Presbyterian, could burn his opponent, Michael Servetus at the stake for a differ- ence of opinion, why condemn Is- rael for defending herself from an- nihilation? And does not history reveal that during the 16th and 17th Centuries, Presbyterianism was founded and baptized in human gore" Furthermore, is it not clearly prophesied in the Bible that the Jewish people will return to the land of their fathers, with none to make them afraid? God gave all the land of Canaan to Abraham and his seed—through Isaac not through Ishmael. The land included the territory from the Euphrates to the Nile rivers (Genesis 15:18). Hundreds of years later, Jermiah revealed that though they were about to go into captivity, at some later date God would give to the people of Israel their land. "There is hope for your future, says the I Lord, and your children shall come ' back to THEIR OWN COUNTRY," (31:17). I suggest that our Pres- byterian doctor should acquaint himself with the Bible and his own church history, before attempting to debate Israel's right of conquest by force when surrounded by de- stroying armies.
