In this episode, we explore some of the amazing numbers surrounding Israel’s population growth as the nation celebrated its 78th Independence Day this Wednesday, as well as taking a deep dive into the insanity of the global outrage surrounding a Jew destroying a single Christian icon, while radical Islamists around the world continue to violently attack minority groups. We discuss new moves by the Israeli government to establish communities in Israel’s heartland with the full support of the U.S. government—a refreshing shift from the pressure encountered in the region from previous administrations. Meanwhile, tensions remain high across the Middle East, with ceasefires and peace talks still in the works. The various radical terrorist groups, from Hezbollah to Hamas to the IRGC, are all still bent on the annihilation of Israel, despite more moderate voices in their regions trying to find a path to peace. Israel continues to stand strong against all of those who would destroy her. We’ve recently seen a global move to isolate the Jewish state; it seems that there is now a huge push underway, intending to drive a wedge between Christians and Jews.
