American evangelicals, especially dispensationalists, have a tendency to whitewash whatever the modern Israeli government does, owing to a supposed identification of contemporary Israel with the Israel of the Old Testament and biblical prophecy. So concerned about this was the late President Sadat of Egypt that he invited Dr. Montgomery and five other evangelical leaders to meet with him to provide a more balanced picture. In this lecture, Dr. Montgomery offers an in-depth analysis based both upon Scripture and upon the human rights record of modern Israel vis-à-vis the Palestinian problem and the Near East situation in general.
