American Jewish and Christian leaders have joined forces and come to Israel, to show solidarity with the 8,000 Gaza settlers slated to be removed from their homes this summer. “When you talk about throwing individuals or evicting individuals from their home, when they spent 20 or 30 years cultivating or building that foundation, that is not right,” said John Sampson, a state senator from New York. The delegation says the planned destruction of 21 Gaza settlements is a tragedy and a reward for terror.
