Season 8: Israel at War, Explained
On October 7, 2023, the genocidal terrorist group Hamas launched a war against Israel by massacring 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages. Israel has since been engaged in a seven-front war with the Iranian regime’s proxy armies. At the same time, Jews around the world confront a campaign of hatred, abuse, and vilification. This war is reshaping the Middle East, with implications for the whole world.
