9 Days Later: Reporting from Israel (Andrew Doran)
Episode description
When Hamas carried out its campaign of terror on October 7th, many of us woke up to text messages blowing up our phones. For Andrew Doran, who was in Jerusalem when the attack started, the gravity of the situation on the ground was all that more real. Andrew, Director of Philos Catholic, talks with Robert and Dominique from Jerusalem about first-hand observations of Israel's collective trauma and move to support the war front. Andrew raises concerns over rising antisemitism, the Biden administration's foreign policy, and the threat of Hamas and Hezbollah.
