Summary
More than 500 people were killed at the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza yesterday, which was sheltering thousands of displaced people. Palestinian officials blamed Israeli airstrikes, but the Israel Defense Forces “categorically” denied blame and cited a “failed rocket launch” by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Independent analysts supported IDF’s denial. As the war continues, questions mount: Who are the Palestinians? Did Israel steal their land? Is their plight in Gaza Israel’s fault? How should Christians view them today?

| 0:00.0 | Good morning. Today is Wednesday, October the 18th, 2023. Welcome to the Daily Article podcast. I'm Chris Elkins, |
| 0:10.0 | narrating today's article written by Denison Forum co-founder and CEO, Dr. Jim Denison. President Joe Biden |
| 0:18.3 | arrived in Israel this morning to show support for Israel. |
| 0:21.6 | His trip comes less than a day after a horrific blast at Al-Ali Baptist Hospital in Gaza, |
| 0:27.6 | which was sheltering thousands of displaced people when it was bombed. |
| 0:31.6 | More than 500 people were killed. |

| 0:44.7 | Islamic Jihad, a rival militant group in Gaza. President Biden likewise assigned blame to |
| 0:51.2 | the other team, not Israel. Independent analysts who reviewed footage of the |
| 0:56.1 | explosion also supported the Israel Defense Forces denial. Meanwhile, a different kind of conflict |
| 1:03.3 | is continuing in American society. Many critics of Israel have claimed for many years that they, |
| 1:09.3 | quote unquote, colonized their land from its rightful |
| 1:13.1 | Palestinian owners and that the state continues to, quote unquote, oppress the Palestinians. |
| 1:19.1 | This explains the support voiced on many university campuses and in cultural centers for Hamas |
| 1:25.0 | after their October 7th atrocities. So, let's ask, who are the Palestinians? |
| 1:30.7 | Did Israel steal their land? Is their plight in Gaza Israel's fault? How should Christians view |
| 1:36.5 | Palestinians today? The name Palestine derives from Felistia, the name given by Greek writers |
| 1:43.8 | to the land occupied by biblical Philistines. |
| 1:47.0 | The Romans called the area Syria-Palestino. |
