Greetings. Welcome to the Daily Article Podcast for Thursday, October the 12th,

2023. Today's article is written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins of the Denison

Forum. J.J. Kimshi is a doctoral student in Jewish history at Harvard University,

an author of an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal,

I hope you'll read in its entirety. Find a link to it in today's episode notes. It begins. Hamas's

attack on Israel was a small-scale Holocaust, a moment no Jew alive with the tiniest spect of communal

feeling will ever forget. As a Jewish student,

I was similarly chilled by the reactions at Harvard. He then describes the now infamous response

by more than 30 Harvard student groups to Hamas' invasion of Israel, a statement that supported

the terrorists while blaming their actions entirely on Israel. Kimshi asks, how can we share dormitories,

classrooms, and ideas with students who would make excuses or even celebrate if we and our families

were hacked to death by Hamas terrorists tomorrow? He closes. As a grandson of an Auschwitz survivor

and student of German Jewish history,

I was incredulous that highly culture Germans, the people of Gota and Beethoven,

could have displayed sympathy and even enthusiasm for the Nazi slaughter of the Jews.

Now I believe it. I've seen it happen here. End quote. I understand that

Palestinians and Israelis have a fundamental conflict over who should own the same land. I believe strongly

that both Israelis and Palestinians have a right to live in peace and autonomy. I have dear and

trusted friends of many years, both Jews and Arabs, who live in the

Holy Land, some in Israel, and others in Bethlehem, and other areas of the West Bank. And I know

beyond question from Galatians 3, verse 28, that God loves Israelis and Palestinians equally,

and that he's grieving for the victims of both sides of this conflict.
