On this episode, Joy walks us through the history of terrorism in Palestine ... but not by Palestinians ... unveiling the history of two designated Jewish terrorist groups called the Irgun and Stern Gang. Next, Joy speaks with filmmaker Robert Greenwald, whose new documentary, "Gaza Journalists Under Fire" tells the searing story of three of the 192 Palestinian journalists who have been killed by the Israeli military. Then, Joy and Bishop William Barber serve up the latest Moral Monday, calling out false religionists who claim to be Christian, while violating all of God's word and imposing their false beliefs on the country.
