Episode 276: Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Hamas brutally killed, assaulted, and kidnapped the Israeli civilian population on October 7th 2023. This is a stark contrast to their main focus on attacking the Israeli Defense Forces.

I reflect on my former support of Palestine, and how the events of October 7th, and the coinciding Day of Jihad declared on October 13th, encouraged this anti-Palestine stance.

In particular, the motivations for this discussion are prompted by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran making threatening calls against the citizenry of the United States of America.

While I am not a fan of foreign intervention, funding, training or support of wars and countries not our own, it is not too hard to be morally repulsed by the depraved barbarity of Hamas towards a civilian population.

Further, it is of grave importance that the American people be fully alert, aware, and informed of International developments concerning the parties involved. It is even more important to be aware of your immediate surroundings. If you see something, say something.
