| 0:00.0 | So welcome to the podcast. This is episode 424. My name is Douglas Wilson. You, of course, are you, and I'm glad you decided to join us. So the topic of the day is this big sodomy fest on the Dead Sea in Israel. This came to my attention. |
| 0:39.4 | Well, I saw it in a not-the-be article where the government of Israel tweeted out its support |
| 0:47.7 | for this big gay rainbow thing on the banks of the dead Sea, which basically puts it in the proximity of |
| 0:56.7 | the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah. You know, the homosexual celebration, the pride stuff, |
| 1:03.5 | is bad enough. But to do it on the site or near the site of Sodom and Gomorrah is sort of saying to Jehovah, |
| 1:14.1 | we double dog dare you to do it again. It is sort of stupefying. It's just stupefying. |
| 1:22.3 | And then to have the government of Israel promoting it saying, good job, guys, here we go, big, big, big celebration. |
| 1:32.7 | This is the sort of thing that calls for repentance and nothing else will do ultimately. |
| 1:39.7 | But someone like Netanyahu needs to understand that here in North America, Christian support for |
| 1:46.2 | Israel, which has been pretty constant and pretty steady for a long time, even, and there are |
| 1:52.0 | reasons, different reasons for it. The Christian Zionism of the dispensationalists or those Christians |
| 1:58.7 | who are hawkish about Islam, for whatever reason, there has been strong |
| 2:03.9 | support for Israel in the United States from Christians, from evangelical Christians. |
| 2:10.8 | And this kind of effrontery should be considered ranked right up there as a PR wise as that IDF soldier taking a sledgehammer |
| 2:22.3 | to the to the head of the Jesus icon. That's just no bueno. It's just no good. Now, it's no good, |
| 2:32.4 | even if nobody saw it. It's no good if you got away with it. |
| 2:36.1 | But then if you didn't get away with it and everybody's staring at you're stupefied, |
| 2:40.4 | it should make you think, what are we, you know, what are we doing here? |
| 2:44.8 | The conservative Israelis need to understand that Christian support for Israel is under assault. It is being |
| 2:56.6 | attacked and undermined and challenged in all sorts of ways. And there are some responsible |
| 3:02.9 | voices in there. It's not like the government of Israel is above criticism. I mean, look, they just |
| 3:08.5 | tweeted this Sodomy Fest, right? Of course, they're not above criticism. That was really bad. |
