KIBBUTZ NIRIM, Israel – Many world leaders insist Israel give up land so Arabs can form the state of Palestine. That is at the heart of the so-called “two-state solution.” However, Israel tried exchanging land for peace in 2005, when it forced some 9,000 Jewish residents out of communities in the Gaza Strip and Samaria.
Two years later, the Hamas terror group along with other jihadists took over the Gaza Strip, and the result has been years of sporadic rocket attacks and full-out conflict on several occasions.
Since 2005, nothing even close to peace has resulted. This week, CBN News joined a group of more than 100 Christian journalists on a visit to the area along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip to see what Israeli citizens and soldiers face there.
Kibbutz Nirim is a peaceful-looking community on that border, yet it is always in danger of rocket or mortar shelling, which can come at any time.
