Israel is at war. On Saturday, October 7, 2023, the terrorist group Hamas launched a vicious surprise attack on Israel—on a Jewish holiday. It’s disgusting, sickening, and heartbreaking. Hamas is engaged in pure evil, trying to obliterate the nation of Israel, God’s nation, from this earth—but they will ultimately fail. God will protect his people.As this war happens in Israel, we have a responsibility to educate ourselves and others as to what is happening. That means we must confront evil: Hamas terrorists are raping women, murdering innocent children and families, taking hostages, shooting thousands upon thousands of rockets into Israel. Don’t run from evil—because then evil gains power.On today’s episode, we meet Hillel Fuld, a Jewish man who boldly takes the stand for truth and for Israel on social media. He’s also the brother of a national hero of Israel, Ari Fuld, who was murdered in September 2018 by a Palestinian terrorist. Hillel shares about the attacks in Israel and what it’s like to be living there right now.Don’t miss this episode: it’s the most important Virtual Voyage episode ever. Please share it with your family and friends. The world needs to know the truth.Join me in praying that God delivers Israel from the hand of this evil terrorist group, Hamas. There can be no doubt: God is on the side of Israel and the Jewish people. We will see God’s miraculous deliverance of Israel from this evil war.The Ari Fuld Project: https://arifuld.orgFollow Hillel on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HilzFuld
