Any Jewish related question of any kind, you could be a Hasidic Jew who differs deeply with me and you want to tell me why I'm wrong.

You could be a Christian with questions about Israel today.

You could be a Muslim, wanting to challenge my beliefs about Israel being restored by God.

Whoever, 866, 348, 7884, as long as it's Jewish-related, it's welcomed warmly on our Thursday broadcast.

Okay, we will talk about some news items relating to Israel.

There has been recent war between Israel and

Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist organizations. Right now, it has been contained. Right now,

there is truce. There's not been a high loss of life. May it be so that it continues,

and may grace be extended to victims on the ground.

May people look up to God as their one and only hope in the midst of this.

I recently received an email from dear friends in Israel, husband and wife who have lived in the land for decades.

They have spent most of their lives in the land.

I imagine they're my age or a little bit older, and they've spent two-thirds or more of their lives living in Israel,

raised their kids in Israel, their kids have fought in Israeli military.

These are lovers of Yeshua and lovers of Israel. And in the email, they were sharing the great grief that they have over their nation.

They were sharing how, in many ways, things are so much worse within Israel, that there's more corruption in the government than they've ever seen.

And they just went through a list of everything that's wrong within the nation of Israel.

Again, as lovers of Israel who live in the land, not critics, not anti-Zionists, but those who

believe that God brought the Jewish people back to the land, those who believe that God will

bring the Jewish people back to himself through Yeshua, those who believe that Israel is

falsely accused and maligned in the news all the time.
