The ongoing war between Israel and Iran isn’t so much a fight over land or resources or military superiority as it is a true clash of civilizations and an epic showdown between good and evil.

And Israel represents all of civilized society, including America.



It’s history unfolding, said Yael Eckstein, president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

“This is the most maybe historic time in our life that we’re seeing that clash of civilizations,” Eckstein said, after arriving home to Israel on a special flight from America.

“Right now,” she said, “all of Israel is under ballistic missile attack … My home was shaking literally from booms. … The entire country is essentially paralyzed and closed. This is like the war of 1948. This is very similar to the war of 1967.”
