This week Clare Lopez, Founder and President of Lopez Liberty, LLC, joins us to share her expertise on national security and her insights on the Middle East. Clare examines with us the often unaddressed history of Islam and its movement in the Middle East and beyond, the modern state of Iran and its worldview and philosophy, and how this relates to Israel as a modern state and the threats its people face (and deal with) today. Moreover, how is everything relative to us in the United States?
Clares brings to us well-researched findings on events in the Middle East as they pertain to Israel and the US—much of which is deleted or omitted from mainstream news coverage, scholarly debate, and public policy discussions. Her understanding of modern-day issues and catastrophes includes examining the history of the region and its peoples and philosophies (religions). In addition to the long history of hostility in the region, she examines the more recent involvement of US and Western funding and diplomacy in the “ring of fire” that surrounds Israel, the only democracy in the region offering human rights and justice for all its inhabitants.
Please listen in on our conversation as Clare’s understandings are vital for Americans, and Christians, to know as we move forward in an ever-volatile world and keep our mission to comfort and aid the Jewish people in light of God’s word on the matter—and all of history, while praying for the peace of Jerusalem.
