Shoulder to Shoulder Doug Reed and Pesach Wolicki

Pesach and Doug deal with a busy news cycle, first discussing the heroic hostage rescue by the IDF, and then analyzing what that operation might mean for future hostage operations. Afterwards they pivot to Benny Gantz’s withdrawal from the unity government. What are its ramifications? Will there be new elections anytime soon, and would that be good or bad for Israel? What will happen to the war effort? So tune in and continue to pray for Israel.

Doug and Pesach are joined by our good friend, military analyst and res. Maj. Elliot Chodoff. As always, Elliot brings us up to date with the progress of Israel's war against the Hamas. What is the meaning of what we've learned about Egypt's complicity in arming Hamas? What effect is US pressure having on the war? And what about the escalation of hostilities with Hezbollah in the north? All this and more on this week's war update.

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.
