Reflections on Hamas’s Attack on Israel

This podcast episode on Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel is unique for The Table. We rarely cover current events as they unfold, much less events with such personal and global significance. At times, guests display the emotion that comes from knowing victims of the attacks. We decided not to edit out these moments. Our guests long for God's protection of the innocent and justice against the wicked. There is biblical precedence for this request and the emotion that accompanies it. One need look no further than Psalm 9. We also want to remember that there is a legitimate concern for those Palestinians who are also among Hamas's victims. We hope to follow up with a podcast episode exploring this topic. One thing is clear: Hamas helps no one, Palestinian or Jew. We offer this discussion of the conflict with these reflections in mind.In this episode, Darrell Bock, David Brickner, and Mitch Glaser discuss the recent events in Israel and Hamas and how we can pray for the people hurting.
