Proclaiming Justice

Three years ago, on October 7, 2023, Hamas attacked the Nova festival in southern Israel. Inside a crowded bomb shelter, a 22-year-old off-duty soldier named Aner Shapira promised to throw back any grenade that came through the door. He did it seven times. The eighth took his life. At least seven people in that shelter survived.

In this Focus on Israel conversation, Laurie Cardoza-Moore talks with Aner's mother, Shira, and his father, Moshe. They describe the last meal the whole family shared, the shelter, and the legacy of a young man who wrote music, painted, and stood at the door for strangers. Moshe calls that legacy almost biblical: stand for what is right, and you can beat evil.

The Shapira family carries Aner's music and art forward through the Aner Foundation, which works with young people from every background in Jerusalem. Learn more at anershapiro.com.

Is America’s $3.8 billion a year to Israel charity, or the best defense investment the United States makes? In this re-release of one of our most requested conversations, former Israeli Ambassador Yoram Ettinger joins Laurie Cardoza-Moore to answer the isolationists with the facts.

He walks through intelligence valued at five CIAs, battle lessons that saved Lockheed Martin years of F-35 development, and the “unsinkable aircraft carrier” that spares America ships and divisions. He also explains why Iran’s war on the “Great Satan” runs through Israel and reaches all the way to America’s southern border. Recorded after the June 2025 Iran war, it’s a clear case that standing with Israel is both a biblical duty and plain common sense.

One of our most-requested episodes is back. Itamar Marcus, founder of Palestinian Media Watch, sits down with Laurie Cardoza-Moore to reveal what Palestinian television, textbooks, and summer camps actually teach children — in their own words, not the version prepared for Western audiences.

The claims go further than politics. Marcus documents Palestinian state television glorifying the murder of Jewish children as heroism, and Hamas — a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood — calling for a global war that ends with the world under Islam. He also traces how American tax dollars help fund the incitement.

For over a decade, Palestinian Media Watch has kept this record in the Palestinians' own words — learn more at palwatch.org. Follow, share, and support PJTN's work defending truth and Israel at pjtn.org.

Laurie Cardoza-Moore sits down with bestselling author and historian Michael Bar-Zohar, one of the world's leading chroniclers of the Mossad, for an inside look at some of Israel's most daring intelligence operations — from the theft of Iran's secret nuclear archives to the remote assassination of a top nuclear scientist and the coordinated strikes of the 12-Day War with Iran. Bar-Zohar also addresses the growing effort by commentators like Tucker Carlson to paint the Mossad as a threat to America, and explains why the U.S.-Israel intelligence relationship has instead been one of the most trusted alliances in the world. Along the way, he shares remarkable stories of the women who served as Mossad agents, and reflects on the God-ordained bond between America and Israel.

For five centuries, millions of Jewish families across Spain, Portugal, and Latin America were forced to hide who they were — lighting candles in secret, passing down fragments of their faith in code, terrified of what would happen if anyone found out.

Today, an estimated 500 million people around the world may be descended from these hidden Jews, the Bnei Anusim, and most of them have no idea. This episode originally aired on A Voice to the Gentile Church, a production of Build Up Zion (buildupzion.org), where Laurie Cardoza-Moore joins Pastor Roger Diaz and Delores Lowe to share her own discovery of her family's hidden Jewish roots, the brutal history of the Inquisition, and the biblical prophecies in Ezekiel and Obadiah that point to a modern-day ingathering of Israel's scattered tribes. Laurie also talks about her upcoming documentary bringing this history to light, and why the church needs to reckon with its own past.

Where did Christian support for Israel actually begin? Jonathan Immanuel, author of Britain, the Bible and Balfour, joins Laurie Cardoza-Moore to unpack a history most Christians have never heard — starting with King Henry VIII's turn to the Hebrew Bible to justify his divorce, and the chain of events it set off through the Puritans, the English Civil War, and centuries later, the Balfour Declaration. Immanuel traces how a nation's wrestling with Mosaic law shaped English — and eventually American — biblical conviction about the Jewish people's return to their land. This conversation lays out the theological and historical roots of Christian Zionism with striking specificity: named kings, named preachers, named turning points. It's a reminder that God has been moving history toward Israel's restoration far longer than the headlines suggest.

Laurie Cardoza-Moore sits down with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem for Foreign Relations, to trace a 500-year family secret. When the Spanish Inquisition forced Jews to convert, flee, or die, Fleur's ancestors chose to hide — surfacing generations later in Gibraltar, and eventually returning to Israel. Fleur explains how modern DNA testing is now uncovering that same hidden Jewish lineage in millions of families across Spain, Portugal, and Latin America, and why she sees the modern rediscovery and return of these long-hidden Jews as a sign of biblical prophecy unfolding.

The conversation also turns to how that same ancient hatred has resurfaced today — at the United Nations, in the aftermath of October 7th, and in the world's continued scapegoating of the Jewish state.

Israeli journalist and Netanyahu international affairs adviser Caroline Glick joins Laurie Cardoza-Moore in Jerusalem for a candid look at what really happened before October 7th, and what's happened since. Caroline walks through the intelligence warnings that never reached the Prime Minister, the Biden administration's pressure campaign against Israel, and the funding networks tied to anti-government protests at home and antisemitic demonstrations on American college campuses. Caroline and Laurie also connect the legal battles against Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump, and talk candidly about why the fight over Israel's right to exist is ultimately a fight over the biblical foundation of America itself.

Laurie Cardoza-Moore sits down with journalist Dexter Van Zile, Managing Editor for Focus on Western Islamism at the Middle East Forum, for a hard-hitting conversation about how an American city became a flashpoint for Islamist influence, how foreign money reshaped U.S. mosques, and how antisemitism is being mainstreamed by commentators like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens and a wave of new Catholic converts. Van Zile lays out the coaching and funding behind this shift and makes clear why Christians cannot stay silent on either front. Laurie and Dexter make the biblical case for standing against both Islamist infiltration and rising antisemitism in American life. As Scripture makes clear, those who bless Israel will be blessed — this episode is a call for Christians to know the truth and stand on it.

Laurie Cardoza-Moore welcomes Yaffah Batya DaCosta back to Proclaiming Justice for a second conversation, this time on communion.
Where did the doctrine of transubstantiation actually come from, and does it hold up against the Torah's clear prohibition on consuming blood? DaCosta walks through the Fourth Lateran Council of 1215, the influence of Constantine and the Greco-Roman reshaping of the early church, and what Jesus, a Torah-observant Jew, most likely meant when he said "this is my body, this is my blood."

The conversation also touches Deuteronomy 18's prophecy of a coming prophet, and how institutional blindness to these Jewish roots later opened the door to antisemitism within the Church and beyond it. If you've ever wondered how much of what you practice on Sunday actually traces back to Scripture, this episode is for you.
