Podcast Discussion on the Israel-Gaza War

Posted on October 31, 2023 | Posted by Pastor Daniel

Faith Seeking Understanding, Ascension’s book/podcast/movie club seeks to learn more about our world through the lens of our faith. Sometimes this includes complex, difficult, and divisive issues. The war in Gaza is certainly that.

Join us for a discussion of the war, security of Israel, the plight of Palestinians, and the place of the church and the United States in this conflict. We’ll meet in the church library on November 27 with a zoom option. Contact Pastor Daniel for more information: d.smith@ascensioncos.org.

There is no apolitical way to approach this topic. So, we will instead hear a diversity of voices. Please listen to these three podcast episodes before the discussion.

1) Vox’s Today Explained podcast, episode “Israel, Hamas, and how we got here.” This episode gives us helpful background to the war. Aired October 10, 2023.

2) Wall Street Journal’s Free Expression podcast, episode “Hamas’ Terror and Israel at War.” This episode features an interview with a former Israeli Knesset member and Israeli ambassador to the US, Michael Oren. Aired October 11, 2023.

3) The Unsettled podcast, episode “Matt Duss: This is not a moment where people are making good policy.” This episode features Matt Duss from the Center for International Policy and former foreign policy advisor to Sen. Bernie Sanders. Aired October 17, 2023.
