Israel-Hamas War: I've Picked a Side - It's Not What You Think

October 31, 2023 • Steve Norris • Season 10 • Episode 175

In a world that often seems divided by lines drawn in blood and conflict, I find myself at a crossroads. The Israel-Gaza conflict, a longstanding and painful struggle, has once again erupted into headlines and social media feeds. As the world debates and takes sides, I have taken a side. I have made my choice, but it's not a choice between Israelis and Palestinians. It's an altogether different choice.

The Israel-Gaza conflict is a deeply complex and emotional issue that has defied resolution for generations. Innumerable lives have been lost, homes destroyed, and families torn apart. The cycle of violence, while it may ebb and flow, persists. It's easy to be swayed by the prevailing narratives and to feel the pressure to pick a side, to become a cog in this destructive cycle.

But I've finally come to the realization that I do need to pick a side. And I choose Love.
