In this episode, guest Reverend Todd Stavrakos discusses the stance of mainline churches on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They talk about the lack of nuance in these stances and their impact on relations with the Jewish community. Stavrakos criticizes the one-sided focus on Israel’s actions, the failure to condemn terrorist organizations, the issue of antisemitism within the church, and the importance of recognizing it.
