After the attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023, we have seen dangerous attitudes among America’s future leaders on today’s college campuses toward Israel’s possible destruction. Why has there been such a response on campuses across the U.S. in support of Hamas? It is now more important than ever to have the moral and spiritual strength to stand up for what is righteous and true.Dr. Carson is joined by Alan Dershowitz who has been called “America’s most public Jewish defender,” “one of the most distinguished defenders of individual rights,” and has written 40 works of fiction and nonfiction, including 7 bestsellers. He has a new book coming out called, “War Against the Jews: How to End Hamas’ Barbarism.”Now is not the time for moral equivalency. We need moral strength to see us through this. We saw the brutal attack on Israelis from a barbaric force against civilians and they did not spare the elderly, innocent babies, or women. We all must condemn this type of hate and violence and not allow it to tear apart America and the values that we hold dear.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
