It's true that some believers get bogged down in theological minutiae (hair-splitting) that is, for the most part, pointless. One of my children reminded me recently that I'm a pretty opinionated guy--and maybe a little bit too much so. There's a part of me that wants everyone to agree with...

Pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel evangelicals (a tribe that, sadly, is growing) chafe at the suggestion that their position may be anti-Semitic.
