Thanks for coming back.

Yeah, thanks for having me.

Maybe you can help solve a mystery.

So I've always known that different people have different views on Israel.

I've never been upset about it.

Post-Gaza, I'm rethinking about if all those views are legitimate, but I know that decent people have different views on Israel.

Totally fine.

And that includes Christians.

But in the past year, it does seem that for some Christian leaders—

I don't want to call anyone out by name, but Israel's the only thing that matters.

So they'll approach fellow Christians with one question in mind, where does this person stand on the government of Israel?

And so it occupies a much greater percentage of mental disk space than I ever imagined, certainly than it does for me.

So what is that?

So that is, boy, it's jarring to hear you put it so plainly, but that is really what they're saying.

If you don't support the Netanyahu government, you're not a Christian.

Yeah, I've heard it.

I've heard that.

Some, like the dimmer ones, like Huckabee, just say it out loud, but that is the assumption behind a lot of it.

I mean, yeah, I've read the book, by the way, more than once, but I didn't need to read it to know that Jesus is probably not endorsing killing the innocent, killing kids.

Boy, I've been there.
