The death toll from both sides of this escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas is heartbreaking with more than one thousand people killed. Thinking about all the sons and daughters lost, all the grieving parents- is soul crushing and this fight seemingly has no end. We will start with John Rothmann and follow the developments after what started with Hamas fighters breaching the border from Gaza in a brutal and deadly surprise attack. Officials say the death toll in Israel has passed 700. Subsequent fighting and air strikes by Israel leave 400 Palestinians dead. Richard Greene will join us to talk about that and more. He’s a civics educator, a lawyer and a radio guy- so he’s our kind of people. We are so excited to present more videos from you celebrating our 1 year show anniversary. These are so good!
