In this episode Levi and Duncan discuss the war that broke out on 7 October 2023 between Israeli forces and the Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups. Duncan explains what geopolitics is, and how it informs the current situation. He reviews the 1916 Sykes-Picot Agreement, the Balfour Declaration, the formation of the state of Israel and the ensuing war with five Arab countries. He also mentions Iran's role in supporting Hamas. Next they consider the desperate plight of the Palestinians confined to the West Bank and Gaza in addition to the atrocities inflicted on the Israelis. Duncan and Levi review the tragic losses of life on both sides. Levi shares recent surveys in the American media regarding support for Israel and they discuss the generational divides in public opinion. Next, Duncan and Levi turn to the topic of Bible prophecy about the establishment of the Kingdom. The episode ends with their reflections on Jesus' message in Luke 13:34-35.
