Explore with us a little of the history and context of Israel, Gaza and Hamas.
My original plan was to use a Fifth Monday to have my friend John Plant interview me. John has been a faithful listener to my early Podcast work. The events of October 7th altered that plan. This episode "counts" as my October 30th planned release.
John Plant is a retired US Army Colonel. He is a graduate of the University of Toledo with a BA in Political Science and an MA in Public Administration. Further, he has a PhD from the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. He lives in North Carolina and is a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. His LinkedIn account is HERE. We talk weekly.
Between the two of us, John and I have over 50 years of military service.
Our conversation on Israel, Gaza and Hamas is primarily contextual. It clearly assumes certain knowledge by the listener, i.e., the 1948 War of Independence. But overall, our purpose is to attempt to distill what is some history, define some groups and elements, etc..
Note: all followers of Islam are not terrorists. Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist organizations grounded in a Pan-Islamic world view.
I could easily see us coming back to this topic again another day.
If you wish to send me a note -- my email is dennis at mantuan dot org (to confuse the bots harvesting email addresses.)
If you find the piece thoughtful, please share it with others.
A Wall Street Journal article from Rabbi Meir Soloveichik is HERE. Probably a paywall, sometimes they allow single usages but not consistently.
