On today's podcast episode I explain the background story that led to the recent conflict between the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror organization in Gaza and Israel's Defense Forces. I also discuss Jerusalem Day celebrating the unification of Jerusalem in 1967 which falls on May 18th and 19th this year. Every year this day is commemorated with a flag march through the Old City of Jerusalem which was the catalyst to a war with Hamas in 2021. I conclude with the question that has been perpetually asked throughout history, When will the cycle of violence end?
