I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Genesis 12:3

Mom’s Note: Israel’s PM point was the world cannot afford to let the hatred that fuels IS and Hamas and the like to prevail. However, God’s Word to Abraham remains True. Those who bless the apple of His eye, He will bless. Those who curse it, He will curse.
