About this episode
With a spike in antisemitism around the world since the October 7th attack in Israel and the horrible scenes of Palestinian suffering in Gaza, Jews in the U.S. are wrestling with what it really means to be pro-Israel. Phil and Skye are joined by Holy Post pundit Mike Erre to discuss a thought-provoking sermon by American Rabbi Sharon Brous. She asks, is it possible to support one's own tribe without diminishing the human dignity of others? And how does this relate to Christian communities who feel "under siege" in America? Then, former State Department official, Todd Deatherage, shares about his 15-year effort to help Americans understand that the Israeli-Palestinian situation is not a zero-sum conflict. He says evangelicals need to stop viewing Israel as a "lucky rabbit's foot," and embrace a vision for biblical peacemaking in the region that is both pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian.
