In today’s internet and media focused world, the news cycle can come at us like a flood. This is why it’s important that we sift through it all from a Christian perspective. Jim does that each week on these News Round-Up broadcasts. Here are several examples featured from the first quarter hour:
–Jim began with a number of audio clips. The first dealt with an individual openly admitting that Muslims must destroy empires such as the U.S. Next, an Islamic scholar spoke on why he believes that no sane person can love the U.S. A third came from a Muslim civil rights attorney and former director for the Florida chapter of the Council on American/Islamic Relations who discussed the role of Muslims in America on the issue of dawah. This involves converting people to Islam.
–Top Trump administrative officials are drafting plans to restrict both temporary visit and legal immigration by Muslims affiliated with the revolutionary Muslim Brotherhood and other extremist groups.
–President Trump said that Ukraine would have to continue attacking targets inside Russia if it hoped to win the war, even as Moscow unleashed a massive, new bombardment on Ukrainian cities.
–Russia disavows every advance anyone thought was made in Alaska and the D.C. meetings. Russia has vetoed the idea that European troops could be used as peacekeepers. Beyond that, Russia demands that they be given a role in guaranteeing Ukraine’s security and deciding how violations are dealt with.
–North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un today appeared to acknowledge for the first time that the troops he sent to fight Ukraine for Russian President Putin have suffered losses en masse.
–A call between the leaders of Russia and India affirmed the two countries close ties despite Washington’s demand for India to wean itself off Russian oil.
–Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved the Israeli Defense Forces’ plans to capture the major Hamas stronghold of Gaza City.
–Israeli Defense Forces is calling up 60,000 reservists for duty in the upcoming assault on Gaza City.
–Thousands of orthodox Jews gathered Tuesday outside the Israeli Consulate in Manhattan to oppose Israel’s new rules that would force religious Jews to enlist in the Israeli military.
Other stories during the hour dealt with the passing of Dr. James Dobson, controversy over who drew the newly proposed congressional maps for California, the national debt, new product categories part of steel and aluminum tariffs, persecution of Christians by four of the five largest nations in the world, crime in Los Angeles and much more.
