Paraphrasing Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath, Jones proclaimed, "Wherever there are people struggling for justice and righteousness, there am I." One of his early churches, in Indianapolis in 1953, was fully interracial when that wasn?t cool.

The Israeli Defense Forces concede that Hamas militants have stuck to their yearlong cease-fire, but since the election Fatah has intensified its attacks on Israeli targets. Fatah appears to be aiming to bring Israeli wrath on Hamas, hence hastening the downfall of Haniya's government. So far, Israel has been careful to distinguish who is shooting before it fires back. Since the election, no Hamas targets have been attacked, but last week an Israeli missile killed two Islamic Jihad militants riding in an ice cream...
