Hebrew Voices #171 – 3 Jews & An Arab Discuss The War in Israel

Steven: Welcome to Mormon Book Reviews: Where an Evangelical Encounters the Restoration. I’m your host, Steven Pynakker, and as many of you know, on the morning of October 7th all hell broke loose in the Middle East, especially in Israel. And this barbaric, nihilistic death cult, Hamas, did the unthinkable and the unspeakable. But it’s all there, and we know it’s happened. Now we’re on the verge of the Israeli's response to this brutal attack.

I was just talking to the panel beforehand, before we got started. I was telling them about Mohammed, who’s my friend in the Gaza Strip, and he’s in a very difficult situation. He’s a Muslim philosopher, writer and historian, and is not a fan of Hamas. Now, he does have criticisms of Israel and some of our engagements, which I would understand. If I was a resident of Gaza I probably would too. But Mohammed is one of those people of faith who wants to do things in a peaceful way. So, I just want to ask our audience, those of you who are believers, I’d like you to keep Mohammed in your prayers as well as all the people in the Middle East.

So, many of you probably recognize many of these gentlemen that have already come on. Of course, we know Jason Olson with this book, The Burning Book: A Jewish-Mormon Memoir. It’s got a lot of views, many new subscribers to the channel since my interview with Jason. Jason, welcome to the program.

Jason: Thanks so much Steve, I’m really glad to be here.

Steven: And I want to thank you, because you actually then introduced me to Jabra. Jabra, welcome back to the program today, sir.

Jabra: Thank you, Steve. Glad to be back.

Steven: Now, Jabra is an Arab Palestinian Christian who is also now a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Well said Marilyn!! In the history of man has it ever been harder to sort out the TRUTH than this so called modern age?? How much worse can it get?

You spoke with Yehud Glick. I had an opportunity to hear him speak and meet him in Sep 2022. A modern day Kalev ben Y’funeh. Have you reached out to David Rubin, Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund?

Deuteronomy 20. Anyone who does not understand the need for violence fail miserably to understand events recorded in the TaNaK. Time for war and time for dialogue.
Huge difference between righteous violence (self defense or defend against violence) vs wicked violence. Violence does not beget violence. We dropped a bomb on Japan which ended a war.
Pacifists do not live in reality.

Interesting that converted Jews to Mormonism still identify as Jews. My paradigm shift to Hebrew mindset and worshiping יהוה from Torah given to His people group no longer allows me to identify with any form of “Christianity” or any other “religious variant” of יהוה. My life has increased in Joy Shalom and Covenant Love! One world religion is the incorporation of all religions and gods under one government. I am great full that יהוה is the Elohim of all gods and his instructions are for all who will sojourn and identify as His people called by his name.
Thank you for giving being part of this discussion Nehemia and giving opportunity to hear other religious perspectives.
Shalom
Respectfully
Ronn

Here in America for the last few years and especially now, we have seen the absolute corruption of truth, not only in the media but in the government. People lie. Organizations lie. Political parties lie. And we know that those holding onto power, not the selected politicians but those who actually hold the power and control people, are more than willing to instigate a war and perpetuate a message that is fabricated in order to do so. How do we tell what is true and what is not true? Israel cannot be that different than the U.S. in terms of lying to further an agenda of power. So how does the rest of the world know what the truth is from what the lies are that are being told to justify some of these actions? I’m not advocating for what their end goal is; war. But I want to know, even from those who were over in Jerusalem at the time, how do you KNOW for sure what is true from what is being reported? And why do we see picture after picture after picture of Gaza but no pictures of Israel?
