Ep. 40: Unpacking the Hamas/Israel War

It’s been less than two weeks since Hamas began a war on the Israeli people. Already the devastation, loss, and atrocities committed have left many at a loss for words. Host Joseph Backholm is joined by FRC Senior Fellow Lela Gilbert. Lela lived in Israel for 10 years and describes what life was like and the current situation of friends still living there. Joseph and Lela unpack the many questions surrounding the conflict: Is this attack choreographed? What is Hamas’ endgame? Who is to blame? They also touch on President Biden’s recent visit to Israel and the country's public response to the ongoing war. Join in this conversation to stay informed and be in prayer for all who are affected by this conflict.
