Episode 122 - Misinformation (featuring Mati Shoshani)
Helping Christians make sense of their roots. Helping the Jewish community make sense of Jesus. Together, we are restoring the Jewishness of the gospel.
The War You See… and the War You Don’t
Life in Israel is a paradox - cafés are full, but the weight of war is everywhere. Soldiers are in and out of battle. Families grieve. The fate of hostages hangs in the balance. But beyond the physical war, there’s a media war - and right now, truth is losing.
In this episode, we sit down with Mati Shoshani, an IDF reservist and media powerhouse, to pull back the curtain on how the world is being deceived. From Hamas’ hostage propaganda to mainstream media spin, we expose the dangerous narratives shaping public opinion - and what’s at stake if the world doesn’t wake up.
Key Takeaways:
Israel is fighting on two fronts - the battlefield and the battle of public perception.
Global media bias is fueling anti-Israel sentiment, with outlets choosing to lie, not just omit facts.
The hostage releases aren’t humanitarian gestures - they’re psychological warfare.
Western churches must take a stand - ignoring this moment could repeat the mistakes of history.
