| 0:00.0 | It's Tuesday, September 17, 2024. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm Albert Molar, and this is the briefing. |
| 0:10.0 | A daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.0 | One of the persistent and morally grave errors of our time is what's become rather commonplace |
| 0:20.8 | where people talk about the war between Israel and Hamas as if it's a war |

| 1:15.9 | civilization. Hamas is the enemy of civilization. Its avowed mission is to push |
| 1:21.5 | Israel off of the map to do whatever is necessary. |
| 1:25.0 | And of course we know this leads to terrorist strikes. |
| 1:28.0 | Most infamously, the October 7, 2023 attack upon Israel that became one of the most deadly attacks upon Israel in |
| 1:36.7 | the entirety of its national existence. |
