There’s a growing question in our culture - why should we care about Israel? The answer is bigger than politics, bigger than history. It’s biblical.

Since October 7th, the conversation has changed. The battle isn’t just on the ground - it’s in the media, in our churches, and in the hearts of believers.

Anti-Zionism is on the rise, and many don’t even see it.

In the first episode of this two-part conversation, we sat down with Moshe Sigulim, a Messianic Jew who holds citizenship in Israel, Canada, and the U.S., to unpack the spiritual war behind the headlines.

From ancient antisemitism to modern-day propaganda, we expose the undercurrents shaping how the world sees Israel - and why the church cannot afford to stay silent.

• God’s covenant with Israel still stands - and ignoring it has consequences.
• The propaganda war is real - and it’s influencing the next generation.
• Many churches are unknowingly embracing replacement theology - and it’s leading them into dangerous territory.
• History repeats itself - what happened in 1930s Germany is unfolding again.

This isn’t just about Israel. It’s about the gospel, the church, and God’s promises.

History is being written. Will the church stand with Israel or stay silent?

Life in Israel is a paradox - cafés are full, but the weight of war is everywhere.

Soldiers are in and out of battle.

Families grieve.

The fate of hostages hangs in the balance.

But beyond the physical war, there’s a media war - and right now, truth is losing.

In this episode, we sit down with Mati Shoshani, an IDF reservist and media powerhouse, to pull back the curtain on how the world is being deceived.

From Hamas’ hostage propaganda to mainstream media spin, we expose the dangerous narratives shaping public opinion - and what’s at stake if the world doesn’t wake up.

• Israel is fighting on two fronts - the battlefield and the battle of public perception.
• Global media bias is fueling anti-Israel sentiment, with outlets choosing to lie, not just omit facts.
• The hostage releases aren’t humanitarian gestures - they’re psychological warfare.
• Western churches must take a stand - ignoring this moment could repeat the mistakes of history.

The battle isn’t just on the ground - it’s in the headlines, in conversations, in churches. What side will you be on?

📍 Listen now, stay informed, and take a stand.

Welcome back to Season 7 of The Jewish Road Podcast! If you’ve ever watched Fiddler on the Roof, you know the classic scene - Tevye, the village milkman, listens to two men argue, nods at the first and says, “You’re right.”

Then he hears the other side and says, “You’re right.”

A bystander protests, “They can’t both be right!” And Tevye, caught in the tension, sighs, “You’re also right.”

That’s Israel today. Stuck between two truths - both undeniably right, both in direct conflict.

On one side, Israel must do everything possible to bring home the hostages taken by Hamas. It’s not just strategic; it’s a sacred, deeply ingrained Jewish value.

On the other side, Hamas must be defeated decisively, or this will happen again. Over and over.

So, what’s the right answer? Like Tevye’s dilemma, both are right. And that’s the tension Israel - and the Jewish world - wrestles with today.

• The Jewish Value of Life: Israel’s relentless pursuit of hostage rescue is rooted in Pidyon Shvuyim - the ancient Jewish principle of redeeming captives.
• The Threat of Hamas: If not stopped, Hamas will continue using hostage-taking as leverage, forcing Israel into impossible choices.
• Living in the Tension: The paradox of war - how do you fight when your enemy hides behind civilians?
• Wisdom in Holding Contradictions: In Jewish thought, struggling with opposing truths isn’t a weakness - it’s what it means to be Israel, “one who wrestles with God.”
