Summary
While anti-Israel protestors call for a permanent cease-fire and Hamas apologists claim that the terrorists didn’t commit atrocities on October 7, the returned children kidnapped by Hamas tell a harrowing, tragic, and much different story. Nine-year-old Emily Hand is one example. And the ideological war fomenting outside of the actual war is consequential far beyond the Middle East.

| 0:00.0 | Good day. Welcome to the Daily Article Podcast. Today is Thursday, November the 30th, |
| 0:07.8 | 2023. I'm Chris Elkins narrating today's article written by Denison Forum co-founder and CEO, Dr. Jim |
| 0:15.3 | Denison. Note, Henry Kissinger, an American diplomat and Nobel Prize winner, died yesterday at the age of 100. |
| 0:24.2 | I will publish a daily article special edition this morning, reflecting on his life and significant legacy. |
| 0:31.3 | Israel confirmed early this morning that a temporary pause in the Israel-Hamas war would extend for at least one more day, |
| 0:38.3 | with eight more Israeli hostages reportedly set to be released. |
| 0:42.3 | Tragically, the tenuous nature of this truce was demonstrated when two Palestinian brothers, |
| 0:48.3 | affiliated with Hamas, opened fire at the main entrance to Jerusalem, |
| 0:52.3 | killing three Israelis and wounding six other people. |
| 0:55.6 | Meanwhile, what we know so far from the hostages who have been released is vital to winning |

| 1:26.4 | Last night she cried until her face was red and blotchy. She couldn't stop. |
| 1:31.2 | She didn't want any comfort. I guess she's forgotten how to be comforted. She went under |
| 1:36.5 | the covers of the bed, the quilt, covered herself up, and quietly cried. Anti-Israeli |
| 1:42.7 | propagandists have claimed for years that Israel stole and |
| 1:46.1 | colonized its land from the rightful Palestinian owners. For more, I invite you to download my free |
