A libertação de reféns do Hamas e prisioneiros de Israel marcou a primeira semana do cessar-fogo na faixa de Gaza. O grupo extremista libertou três reféns israelenses, enquanto Israel libertou 90 palestinos. E neste sábado (25), há a expectativa da libertação de mais reféns.A primeira etapa da trégua começou há uma semana, depois de 15 meses da guerra e a expectativa é que, no total, 33 reféns israelenses e 900 prisioneiros palestinos sejam entregues. O acordo, intermediado pelos Estados Unidos e pelo Catar, é dividido em três fases.Enquanto isso, militares de Israel devem recuar, afastando-se das áreas mais povoadas de Gaza para permitir que palestinos voltem para casa. Além disso, está prevista a entrada diária de centenas de caminhões de ajuda humanitária no território palestino. O Hamas atacou Israel em 7 de outubro de 2023, matando cerca de 1.200 pessoas e levando 251 de volta para Gaza como reféns.O ataque desencadeou uma enorme ofensiva israelense em Gaza, durante a qual mais de 46.800 palestinos foram mortos, segundo o Ministério da Saúde administrado pelo Hamas.Para falar sobre os próximos passos deste “tratado de paz” o Palavra Aberta recebe o professor de Geopolítica da Academia da Polícia Militar de Minas Gerais e Diretor do Instituto de Ciências Sociais da PUC Minas, Danny Zahreddine.

Traditional readers of the Hebrew Bible, reinforced by rabbinic commentary, condemn the bloodlust, cruelty, exploitation of the weak, and exaltation of the strong that is on display in the Amalekite attack on Israel in the book of Exodus. But it's not the Amalekites, the nomadic enemies of the Israelites, who are shocking for their sacralized violence; it's the Israelites who are shocking for their ability to quiet that darker, natural impulse, and live out a different moral code.  That is the thought that frames a recent essay called “Civilization Is from the Jews,” written by Andrew Doran, a senior research fellow with the Philos Project. Here, with host Jonathan Silver, Doran discusses his contention that what we think of as “civilization” came into the drama of human history in no other way than through God's covenantal promise with Abraham and his children. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble.

Pesach and Doug sit down with the new Executive Director of the Philos Project, Luke Moon, and the conversation takes some interesting twists and turns. They start off with a discussion of the pro-Hamas protests at Columbia University, and a recent rally where Luke helped lead 5000 Christians in a pro-Israel march on its campus. As the conversation progresses, Luke argues that older Millenials are far more anti-Israel than Gen Z, while Doug and Pesach offer their own take on the reasons for that counterintuitive conclusion. They also talk about eschatology, politics, Trump, whether many Christians understand the importance of this historical moment, and much more. You'll enjoy this conversation, and perhaps leave with a little hope.

Just War theory is one of the most significant contributions of Christianity to the world. On a recent episode of Breakpoint This Week, Dr. Eric Patterson, president of the Religious Freedom Institute and a political scientist who has done extensive work on the subject, discussed how the Just War tradition can help us think through the atrocities of Hamas and the retaliation by Israel. In fact, Patterson's new book, entitled A Basic Guide to the Just War Tradition, is among the best primers available on Just War theory.    In our conversation, Dr. Patterson argued that governments have a God-given obligation to defend the innocent. As he put it,    "There's a whole superstructure in the Bible on certain principles. One is governance. God created the family as a unit of governance. He created the Church as a unit of governance within its sphere. And we know in the Old and the New Testament, such as in Romans 13, there's a principle of government authority to protect and defend. The Bible has a lot to say about vocations, including those called the security and foreign policy vocations: Nehemiah, Joseph, in the New Testament, centurions and others. And so, there's never a teaching in the Bible that Christians are supposed to step outside of those public service vocations to protect and defend." Still, some Christians who take seriously Jesus' command to love their enemies have a hard time seeing how that should play out when it comes to nations at war. Ultimately, it is the command to love our neighbors that grounds the Christian responsibility, of both individuals and governments, to oppose evil through proper channels of authority. The love of our enemies, which Christ commanded, should inform how we oppose evil. In as much, Dr. Patterson argues, intentions matter:    "I think what the Just War tradition helps us with is looking at Israeli politics, looking at leaders and things and asking the question, 'Is the reason you're doing this out of love of neighbor, love of country, or have you strayed over this line where you are full of hate and what you really want to do is out of wrath, out of hatred, out of bitterness?'" When the enemy is dehumanized, Patterson argues, the war devolves away from justice. Of course, Hamas has never seen Jews as fully human. Israel, on the other hand, has placed itself under the obligations of international law, which has been shaped by the Christian Just War tradition. They've committed to be proportional in their response, though that is not measured mathematically. They've committed to distinguish between civilians and combatants, though that does not mean they are responsible every time a civilian is killed. They've committed to treat prisoners humanely and to wage war with a view toward peace in the end.     These commitments impose a heavy burden on those who fight, and they stand in direct contrast to Hamas, Boko Haram, ISIS, or the Taliban. Their way of waging terror and warfare comes, in the words of Philos Project founder Robert Nicholson, from “drinking from a different ideological well” of radical Islam.   Dr. Patterson put it,    "The reason that we've had a half dozen coups in West Africa in the past three years is because governments there, and often friendly Christians and Muslims working together, are so dispirited that the West and Western-supported governments have not been able to stop the black flag of Islamic State in West Africa. We see this with the Taliban and others. I think we have a lot of examples of this type of ruthless, violent Islamism that justifies violence against its neighbors."  Everyone, including Muslims, suffers at the hands of radical Islam. Ideas have consequences. Bad ideas have victims.  Christians have a different view of people, of our friends and of our enemies. We believe in justice and in peace, and most importantly, in the Prince of Peace. May His judgment come swiftly—and may Christians bear faithful witness until then.    This Breakpoint was co-authored by Kasey Leander.

Recently on the The Deep Map podcast, Robert Nicholson, founder of the Philos Project, a Christian Middle East advocacy group, said that he finds it “amazing” that “the people who claim to love Palestinians don't know anything about them, and they're not even trying to learn.”   In the interview, Nicholson emphasized findings of The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research. For example, over two-thirds of Palestinians reject a two-state solution. Ninety-three percent of Palestinians reject Israel's claim to the land, while 58% support armed confrontation. Even more shocking is that two-thirds (67%) of the residents of the Gaza strip support armed attacks on Israeli civilians.   Along with the capacity of fallen humans to do evil, there is also the power of cultural ideology. Radical Islamic ideology, such as is held by Hamas, has shaped that region for a long time. Westerners shaped by secularism tend to think of religion as personal and private, which makes the terror carried out in Israel even harder to understand. 

With the world's eyes on the Middle East in the midst of the war between Israel and Gaza, I invited an expert on the situation to the podcast to help navigate the controversy. Robert Nicholson, President & Founder of The Philos Project, and I discuss the history of the conflict with Israel and the Palestinian people, the origin of Hamas, the details of the current situation, and what the future may hold.Find Robert's work here: https://philosproject.org/Check out our Sponsors: Good Ranchers: https://www.goodranchers.com/ use code "LILA"or $30 off your first order!Public Square: Download the FREE App to support businesses with your values: https://publicsq.mobi/LilaRoseSeven Weeks Coffee at https://www.sevenweekscoffee.com.
