(132) Genocide in Gaza? What We Can Learn from the Rwandan Genocide, the Role of the UN, and a Deep dive Discussion with Ben Poser

Pesach and Doug sit down with Pastor Micah Wood to hear his incredible journey from being a pastor who, for a decade, was theologically opposed to Israel, due to the influence of prominent theologian NT Wright and a replacement theology upbringing, to now being an ardent Israel supporter and Zionist working for Eagles Wings. Listen in to find out how a series of events, including an encounter with Robert Stearns, reading Jewish history books, and participating in a trip to Israel, changed his whole belief system.

Pesach and Doug sit down with Joshua Waller from the Israel Guys to talk about the first Annual Israel Summit being canceled by the Sonesta Hotel in Nashville due to violent threats made by Pro-Hamas/Anti-American thugs. What our enemies meant for evil, God has used for our good. With the help of Gov. Bill Lee, Dave Ramsey, and the Nashville Police Department, the event has been moved to Ramsey Solutions. Now with national media exposure, the conference's registration has doubled and is on its way to being tripled.

Genocide is a term flying around the social media space and on the nightly news. Pesach and Doug sit down with journalist Ben Poser to talk about the concept of genocide and all that is associated with it. Ben gives a modern history of ignored genocide, and slavery taking place in Africa predominantly in Muslim countries. He looks at the Rwandan Genocide as the first genocide that was seen live on TV, yet was largely ignored. Ben looks at history and the role of the UN, and gives some insights to help us better understand the media claims that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians.

Pesach and Doug discuss Doug’s recent trip to Washington DC for the national day of prayer, his experience walking through a Gaza encampment on George Washington University, and an encounter with protesters outside the Israeli Embassy. The conversation then pivots to the biblical warning in Joel 3 to not divide God’s land and how there is not a Biblical two state solution.

Pesach and Doug sit down with the new Executive Director of the Philos Project, Luke Moon, and the conversation takes some interesting twists and turns. They start off with a discussion of the pro-Hamas protests at Columbia University, and a recent rally where Luke helped lead 5000 Christians in a pro-Israel march on its campus. As the conversation progresses, Luke argues that older Millenials are far more anti-Israel than Gen Z, while Doug and Pesach offer their own take on the reasons for that counterintuitive conclusion. They also talk about eschatology, politics, Trump, whether many Christians understand the importance of this historical moment, and much more. You’ll enjoy this conversation, and perhaps leave with a little hope.

Doug and Pesach get caught up on Pesach's recent activities in Washington, D.C. and discuss the recent massive attack by the Iranian regime on Israel. How did so many missiles fail to inflict any significant damage? What is going on inside Iran? And what does this mean for Israel in the days ahead? Join us in praising God for His hand of protection in the days leading up to Passover, the festival of Remption.

Pesach and Doug sit down with Dr. Tricia Miller to discuss a disturbing trend among many Christians whom you’d expect to be ardent supporters of Israel, yet who are neutral towards Israel at best, and antisemitic at worst. Some major denominations and publications seem to support Israel enough to stay out of the headlines but not enough to make a difference. Others, believe it or not, have not just blatantly bought into the Hamas narrative, but are actively supporting it. How did this happen? Is it related to replacement theology? And what can we do to try to turn things around?

Pesach and Doug sit down with Yoram Hazony, and the conversation quickly takes a turn into the far left ideology that is dominating the media and American culture, neo-Marxism. It has become a staple of the Left in American politics, and is running rampant in American colleges and universities. Since the riots of 2020 it has been at the forefront of our culture, and demands a response from all people - but particularly people of faith. What should believing Jews and Christians do? What sort of country or world will be left to our kids and grandkids if we do nothing? What kind of church and form of Christianity will be passed on? Join us for this must-listen conversation.

Pesach and Doug sit down with Gedaliah Blum to discuss his personal journey into Israel advocacy through the Heartland Initiative. Gedaliah discusses his recent trip to South Africa to meet with leaders to advocate support for Israel. While he was there, he ended up on a flight sitting right in the middle of an anti-Israel group and made an unlikely friend - showing that even when you think there's nothing to do, you may in fact be wrong. You won’t want to miss this story and so much more from this conversation.

Doug and Pesach are joined by our friend, military and geostrategic analyst Elliot Chodoff for a wide-ranging conversation. From Chuck Schumer's obnoxious attack on Israel to a forecast of what's next in war in Gaza, this episode will keep you fully informed about the situation in Israel. To what degree is Israel winning the war? Is there a realistic chance for a truce and hostage release before Israel invades Rafah? Does Hamas truly represent the Palestinian people, or has it remained in power against the will of Gaza's residents? And how serious is Israel when it claims that nothing will stop it from wiping out Hamas? Learn the answers and stay up-to-date by listening in to this timely and important conversation.
