Some days will forever live in infamy.  In America, the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and the Islamic attack on New York on September 11^th of 2001, are two such instances.  Another such day is October 7^th, 2023, when Islamic terrorism struck America’s greatest Mideast ally, Israel, in a horrendous and barbaric attack.

Afterward, many nations, media sources and even politicians flipped their narrative and have actually blamed Israel, accusing them of genocide.   

Returning to Crosstalk to look back at this day in Israel’s history was Dr. Richard Schmidt.  Dr. Schmidt is pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church, and founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries.  He is the speaker on the weekly TV program, Prophecy Focus and the radio broadcast, Prophecy Unfolding.  He spent 32 years in law enforcement until his retirement in which he was acting sheriff of Milwaukee County.  He has authored several books including: Are You Going to a Better Place?, Daniel’s Gap Paul’s Mystery, Tribulation to Triumph: The Olivet Discourse, Globalism: The Great World Consumption and Artificial Intelligence: Transhumanism & the De-Evolution of Democracy.

Dr. Schmidt covers a lot of ground on this broadcast starting with his review detailing how the attack on Israel went down and the satanic nature of the abuse that the hostages had to endure. 

As the conversation moves along you’ll find out what worldview was behind the attack, if Israel can accurately be accused of committing genocide, the latest on President Trump’s 21 point peace plan and much more.  Get a perspective on this subject you won’t hear from the mainstream media when you listen to this edition of Crosstalk.
