anti-israel

It was a wild day at the state capital in Denver, as what was supposed to be a final debate on property tax relief in a General Assembly special session turned into a pro-Palestine/anti-Israel rant and protest by Democratic Socialist Rep. Elisabeth Epps (D-6). Rep. Ron Weinberg (R-51) joins Dan to relay his thoughts and emotions from the House floor as this transpired, being one of the few Jewish members of the legislature.

Episode Summary In this episode, we follow award-winning AP journalist Dave Bender behind the headlines to understand why so much of the media stacks the cards against Israel in its reporting.

The Teacher and the Preacher is a weekly radio program--hosted by Dave McGarrah, Senior Pastor at Deer Flat Church in Caldwell, Idaho, and Aaron Lipkin from Israel--that airs each Sunday at 10:30 am and 7:30 pm here on 94.1 The Voice KBXL and also on Sunday evenings at 5 pm on our sister station 790 KSPD. They are a unique phenomenon on the airwaves – a Christian and a Jew in an ongoing dialogue – celebrating the many commonalities but never shying away from the differences. They offer their listeners insights into each other’s faiths that don’t come up much elsewhere, that can only come through sincere conversation. The weekly discussion is more than a program about a topic; it’s a demonstration of how God can bring two people together from 9,000 miles away to bridge the differences, learn from each other, and strengthen their own faiths.

Stories of Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar’s near-visit to Israel and Hamid Hayat’s
release from jail cannot be told in soundbites, so here we go in-depth and unravel
the truth. Everyone knows that Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar have been
extremely outspoken critics of Israel - including Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Yet, these women apparently thought they could hide the fact that their planned
trip to Israel was sponsored by Miftah, a Ramallah-based organization that honors
Palestinian suicide bombers and supports the anti-Israel Boycott, Divest and
Sanctions (BDS) movement.

When their agenda became obvious, Israel cancelled their trip. Then Rashida Tlaib
tried another ploy. She wrote to the Israeli Interior Minister, requesting admittance
allegedly so she could see her 90-year-old grandmother, perhaps for the last time.
However, when her request was granted, under conditions of not carrying out
anti-Israel activism while she was there, Tlaib decided that she didn’t need to see
her grandma after all. Hear all the intriguing details.

Hamid Hayat’s case is less clear and more controversial. He spent 14 years in a
California prison, charged with having attended a terrorist training camp in Pakistan.
Though he'd confessed to this, he was recently freed after a judge overturned his
conviction based mainly on ineffective assistance of counsel during his original trial.
Lots of surreal circumstances: a prosecutor’s witness who lied about having seen
Osama bin Laden’s deputy in the U.S., defense witnesses who claimed Hamid only
played soccer and video games in Pakistan, a father whose confession was based
on the movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” and more….
