New York City's mayor is accusing Israel of genocide. How does Israel respond? In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Israel's Special Envoy, for a conversation about Israel's security and the accusations that continue to divide international opinion. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani marked the third anniversary of October 7 by accusing Israel of genocide and war crimes. He wasn’t alone. Podcasts and social media have brought these arguments to audiences far beyond traditional news. Pastor Allen says even Hamas knows that Israel is not conducting genocide. Otherwise why would they hide in schools and underneath hospitals? They know Israel would not purposefully attack innocent civilians. Israel is not committing genocide! As Christ-followers, it will bring good things to us if we will honor the Jewish nation’s right to that land and do our best to see that it’s defended in the public square.

President Trump warned us ten years ago about the changes taking place in France. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes veteran television and radio broadcaster and author Chris Salcedo to examine the tensions surrounding immigration, national identity, and cultural change in Europe and the United States. Meanwhile, a new Cato Institute analysis reveals that legal immigrant visa issuances and refugee admissions from 45 Muslim-majority countries declined 96 percent as soon as the Trump administration began this second term. What explains that dramatic shift? Pastor Allen believes we cannot simply retreat behind the walls of the church while the culture changes around us. Whether you're at a university, in the workplace, or among friends, carry your biblical worldview with you every day.

Israel's enemies have been dramatically weakened, but that doesn't mean the danger has disappeared. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes national security expert and former USS Cole Commander Kirk Lippold to examine the rapidly changing security picture three years after the October 7 Hamas attack. Iran and several of its regional partners have suffered major setbacks, but weakening an adversary isn't the same thing as eliminating a threat. China remains Iran's most important partner. Pastor Allen reminds us that history can change suddenly and that Israel's story is far from finished. Three years after unimaginable horror and loss, could an entirely new chapter be beginning?
