Welcome to my podcast on culture and Christianity.

You know, we're living in a world of some rather violent change.

We've been saying that.

But October the 7th, the events that happened in Israel when Hamas cut the fence

in the border between Gaza and Israel, and hundreds of militant terrorists poured through the breach and brutally murdered

over a thousand Israelis, Israel changed forever.

It was the greatest loss of life, Jewish life, in a single day since the Holocaust.

You've got to think about that for a moment, folks.

The magnitude of that is almost overwhelming.

The awkward part of it, I was in the Washington, the Washington, D.C. Embassy for Israel a few days ago.

Israeli embassy there. And they said that the attackers knew the names of the people who lived in the houses.

They knew their children, their names, their ages. They had a complete understanding of the neighborhoods that

they invaded, where they brutalized and murdered the people. The only way they could have done

that was if they had the information from the people who've been coming from Gaza to work in

those communities. So the people that have been living amongst them, doing life with them,

betrayed them to these murderous terrorists.

And now Israel's left with that cleanup. The messaging we get in the news is confusing at best,

and it's maddening most of the time. You know, we continue to hear cries for humanitarian concerns for

Hamas. If you write a charter for your organization that says you intend the genocide

of any race of people, you don't qualify for humanitarian concerns. You have formulated a movement,

a gathering, you've bound a group of people together around the annihilation of another group.

You can't negotiate with that. You can't make a treaty with that. You can't negotiate with that.
