Remembering October 7—One Year Later
with Asaf Romirowsky
It is hard to believe that one year ago, Israel experienced the most brutal and widespread attack in its modern history. As we look back at the year that has unfolded since the horrific day of October 7, 2023, Steve Conover, executive vice president here at The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, sits down with Asaf Romirowsky, executive director of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East and the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa.
Dr. Romirowsky walks us through what led to Israel's intelligence blindspots leading up to October 7, the reactions on college campuses in the West, Iran's desires, and what we, as Christians, can do to support Israel and the Jewish people. This is an interview you do not want to miss!

Statements on the War in Israel

War on Israel: The Muslim Replacement Theology
by Jim Showers
Three weeks after the massacre Hamas unleashed on Israel on October 7, 2023, the news media continues to report (and rightly so) on the unthinkable atrocities of that day. We’ve seen the images, watched the videos, heard the stories of survivors and victims, and read the statistics. Many people are still scratching their heads, wondering how such horrors could happen and why Hamas would celebrate with glee such evil.

Statement on the Hamas Terrorist Attack on Israel from Jim Showers
Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade at your right hand. . . The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.
–Psalms 121:4-5, 7
Dear Friend of Israel,
Fifty years ago, on October 6, 1973, the enemies of Israel launched a surprise attack that became known as the Yom Kippur War on the small nation of Israel because the war began on the Jewish Day of Atonement holiday when Israelis were home resting.
On the morning of October 7, 2023, Israel’s enemies once again launched a surprise attack on Israel on Shabbat when most Israelis were home resting. Hamas, the Palestinian Arab terrorist organization in Gaza, unleashed its military forces on Israel. In recent years, Hamas has become a proxy of Iran, and an attack of this size would require Iran’s assistance to fund and plan.
