Israel has problems and challenges that are unique (war and terror), and ones that all societies have as well. What happens when the two intersect and at-risk youth are put in the crosshairs and feel extra unsafe? Today we discuss an inspiring example about how we help turn youth at risk into children of promise, and a specific instance where average people have made a huge difference.

Recently, Ben and Jerry's announced a boycott of Israel that's antisemitic, discriminatory, and illegal, setting off reciprocal creative boycotts by supporters of Israel around the world, of Ben and Jerry's and their parent company, Unilever. Many potential lawsuits also about. We're joined by political and nonprofit consultant, Ruthie Lieberman, from the site of a 3000 year old archeological dig (sorry for the poor audio) to unpack and understand what this means. 

“Til Kingdom Come” is a new Israeli documentary that was ostensibly produced to share about the blessing to Israel of support from Christians.  It turned out to be a gross misrepresentation of what that support is about, at best capturing a snapshot of the phenomena of Christian support for Israel at a single point in time with just that image being depicted as the reality of all Christian support for Israel. Unfortunately, the film does so in a way that’s misleading at best. In fact, it’s dishonest. Join us as we unmask and reveal some of the problems, and explore the facts.
