In this second episode of The Church, Israel, and the Jewish people, Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac confronts the weaponization of antisemitism, clearly distinguishing between genuine anti-Jewish hatred and legitimate moral criticism of Israeli state policies, occupation, and the devastating crisis in Gaza.
