Watch out for Part 2 coming in December.    George Deek is an Arab Christian from Jaffa whose family has lived in the land for generations. His story challenges many of the simple narratives commonly presented about Israelis, Palestinians, Christians, and the events of 1948.   In this conversation, we explore:   • Why Israel created a world first of a dedicated diplomatic envoy to the Christian world • George Deek’s extraordinary family story from 1948 • What it means to identify as Arab, Christian and Israeli • What outsiders misunderstand about Arab Christians living in Israel • The challenges facing Christianity across the Middle East • Religious freedom and Christian-Jewish relations • Israel’s preparations for 2030 and the potential arrival of millions of Christian pilgrims • What a deeper relationship between Israel and the global Church could look like   ALSO IN THIS EPISODE:   ▶ A SHOCKING APOLOGY AFTER A CHURCH IS VANDALIZED   A Christian prayer hall in Nahariya, northern Israel, was vandalized — but the person responsible reportedly left something extraordinary behind: an apology note on the altar asking the Christian community for forgiveness.   The response of the Maronite Christian community provides a powerful reflection on conviction, repentance and forgiveness.   ▶ ELECTIONS IN ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES   We look at the rapidly changing political landscape following elections in both Israel and the United States — and consider the biblical call to pray for those in authority.   ▶ ANTISEMITISM AND UNREST IN EUROPE   As protests and political unrest continue across parts of Europe, antisemitic rhetoric has increasingly appeared within demonstrations and public events.   We also examine anti-Zionist messaging displayed by football supporters and ask what the normalization of this language means for Jewish communities in Europe.   ▶ HEBREW WORD STUDY: MISRAH — GOVERNMENT   FOLLOW AMBASSADOR GEORGE DEEK X: @GeorgeDeek   SUPPORT ISRAEL MATTERS Israel Matters is listener-supported.

This week on Israel Matters, Stephen Briggs examines the controversy surrounding NAZA, the documentary by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor that features testimony from Israeli military and intelligence personnel and raises serious allegations about Israel’s conduct in Gaza. The IDF and Israeli officials dispute key claims, making this a story where evidence, sourcing and truth matter enormously. We also look at Norway’s proposed restrictions on trade connected to Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria including legislation that could carry criminal penalties if enacted, and ask what the practical consequences could be for Israelis, Palestinians and international businesses. Also in this episode: • Why a 25-minute film-festival ovation has become a story in itself • Anonymous testimony, AI targeting and the debate surrounding NAZA • Norway’s proposed trade restrictions involving Judea and Samaria • The potential economic consequences for Palestinian workers • Finland’s changing relationship with UNRWA • Why Israel is fighting what some describe as an “eighth front,”  the battle over legitimacy and narrative? • The difference between criticism of Israel and delegitimization • Christian Zionism and the relationship between Jews and Christians • What “Judeo-Christian values” actually means • How business and investment can challenge boycott campaigns • The biblical meaning of Issachar and sakhar: reward, wages, faithfulness and discernment Special Guest: Calev Myers Calev Myers is an Israeli attorney, entrepreneur and civil-rights advocate working at the intersection of Israel, law, business, Christian-Jewish relations and public diplomacy. Through  the Judeo-Christian Zionist Congress, Calev is helping mobilize supporters of Israel around advocacy, investment, human rights and the defense of Judeo-Christian values.

Just 25 years after the terrorist attacks that changed the world? And what does Israel’s daring operation to capture a top Hamas leader inside Gaza tell us about how dramatically the battlefield has changed? In this week’s Israel Matters, Stephen Briggs examines the controversy surrounding CBC guidance over the words “terrorist” and “terrorism” when reporting on 9/11, and why preserving truthful language matters. We also look at: • Israel’s reported capture of a senior Hamas leader inside Gaza • What Israel’s growing operational freedom tells us about the weakening of Hamas • Disturbing anti-Israel rhetoric emerging from Syria • The 25th anniversary of September 11 • Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets, and the biblical significance of the shofar • Why Christians who say they love Israel should care for the Land itself • Jordan Marcellino and the Beautiful Land Initiative • Meet the Dawn and recovering biblical rhythms of prayer • YOFI: the Hebrew concept of beauty and why beauty ultimately points us toward God   SPECIAL GUEST: Jordan Marcellino Jordan and his wife Hillary founded the Beautiful Land Initiative with a simple but challenging idea: if we say we love the Land of Israel, shouldn't we help take care of it? We discuss environmental stewardship, cleaning and restoring the Holy Land, archaeology, prayer, beauty, and how ordinary acts of faithfulness can transform both our surroundings and our spiritual lives.
