I AGREE with Maureen Robinson (Letters, December 15) that God will judge the goings-on in the Holy Land but people ignore the basis of that judgement.

From Genesis chapter 12, verse three onwards the curse is pronounced on all who think or do evil to Abraham’s descendants through Isaac and Jacob, the Israelites.

It should be remembered that the much talked-about battle of Armageddon promised for the future is against the enemies of Israel and in defence of Israel.

Isn’t it amazing that so small a plot of land and so small a nation are at the centre of world affairs? I wonder why?
