Episode Details

Does the Quran actually support Zionism? If not, why does it say that the land we know as Israel was given to Israel by God? In this midweek episode, Frank welcomes back Ridvan Ademir, a.k.a Apostate Prophet, to continue their eye-opening conversation about the Hamas–Israel conflict. Together, they peel back the political headlines and examine the theological and historical roots driving the crisis in Gaza. Together, they tackle questions like:

• Where do we see Israel mentioned in the Quran and what does it say?
• Why isn’t “Palestine” mentioned in the Quran?
• How and when did Palestine's national identity emerge?
• Why does the Quran say the Holy Land belongs to the Jews? Is Allah a Zionist?
• What started the 1948 Israel-Arab War?
• Why do Palestinians have multi-generational refugee status?
• What are Hamas’ stated goals and why doesn't the West take their charter seriously?
• What roles did Presidents Winston Churchill and Bill Clinton play in the conflict?
• Why did Yasser Arafat reject the 1993 land deal and launch an intifada?
• Why have repeated peace negotiations failed and is a two-state solution even possible?
• What is the irony behind leftist groups who support a pro-Palestine narrative?

You'll learn how Islamic history shapes modern geopolitics and why Christians must think clearly about what’s unfolding in the Middle East.
