This week’s Red Alert Report features a powerful and timely conversation with returning guest, journalist and author, Paul Calvert. Paul joins us from Bethlehem to share firsthand insights into the challenges facing both the Christian and Jewish communities in Israel and the UK. Paul discusses recent security incidents in Bethlehem, pressures facing local believers, and the shrinking Christian population in the region. He also reflects on rising antisemitism in the UK ahead of his upcoming ministry trip, where he plans to test public sentiment by wearing a UK–Israel flag badge and documenting reactions.
Paul explains how misinformation shapes global perceptions of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, the difficulty of verifying casualty figures from Gaza, and the spiritual dimensions behind growing hostility toward Jews and Christians. Paul also shares his plans to speak in UK churches about living through rocket attacks in the Holy Land and the importance of grounding conversations about Israel in factual, biblical truth.
This episode offers a sobering yet hopeful look at faith, conflict, and the need for clarity in a world flooded with distorted narratives. To hear Paul’s full perspective—and to stay informed about the realities facing believers in Bethlehem and beyond—watch the latest episode of The Red Alert Report.
