This morning, I had a little discussion with a caller about Israeli history. Joni Alpert joined in the discussion. Overall, life is very complicated in the world of the Middle East and if you are a Bible believer as I am, I know this will sort itself out in this lifetime or the next.
But here are the facts. Jews were indigenous to the region thousands of years ago. They have been pushed out of their homeland and from the adopted homelands of where they fled culminating with the Holocaust. We marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz recently and sadly, we are still marking the days in captivity for hostages taken on October 7, 2023.
The Israelis have agreed to countless ceasefires, 2-state solutions and more only to have to deal with terrorists who break their word. This weekend, 3 hostages were released who looked like they had lived through the Holocaust. This can never happen again and good must be victorious over evil.
Now, my caller is not a bad person. He has been misinformed. He lives in the cushy world of saying he’s an independent but being too quick to believe everything bad about people with whom he disagrees. But we will talk again.
