Summary

The media is filled with contradictory information about the conflict in the Middle East. How can we know what's true? In this interview, Pastor Allen Jackson talks with Ronnie Simon, a Jewish historian and guide, about the battles raging today. Ronnie shares the history of Israel, Gaza, and Palestine, as well as the truth about the terrorist organization Hamas. He deconstructs the claims the media make, like accusations of genocide and ethnic cleansing. He also shares some good news from Israel about the success of their desalination plants and their dedication to rescuing every hostage. "It's an important Jewish principle: You don't leave anybody behind," Ronnie said. "You do whatever you can to bring everybody home. As long as it will take, we will not spare any effort." Let's persist in praying for the peace of Jerusalem.
