And I'll tell you, brother, in so many conversations, this has always satisfied our Muslim friends and acquaintances. And they so often respond with some degree of surprise by expressing a very thankful, God bless you. And then it just closes the matter.

And so, yeah, I don't you know, as far as the church taking a position, I mean, I'll tell you, I'll tell you and your listeners, this is kind of a tough one, but it's going to be difficult for you to reach out to Muslim people. If you have a whole lot of stuff, for example, on your Facebook or your Instagram or your TikTok or whatever, that's that's just pro-Israel.

And I don't want your listeners to misunderstand and think that I'm anti-Israel or especially anti-Jewish. I don't want any of your listeners to get that idea. But if any Muslim thinks that you care only about the Jewish people and not the Palestinian people, they're not going to be very likely to listen to you share the gospel.

But if any Muslim thinks that you care only about the Jewish people and not the Palestinian people, they're not going to be very likely to listen to you share the gospel.

And so, yeah, just you can be so wise, I think, by giving that answer to a Muslim. We're just so sorry for the suffering of the Palestinian people, and we pray for them. And, yeah, just leave it there, and they will be blessed, and they will be thankful because their image of most Christians is that we are – total Zionists.

And I want to be careful even in using that word, but I'll define it this way. This is how they would see what Zionism means. It means that Israel as a nation can never do anything wrong. Everything they do is right, and everything they do is justified. And so they feel like that Christians will endorse whatever they do, no matter what.

Oh, man.

Oh, man.

You know, I think. Go ahead. Well, I just let me just throw in something real fast, brother. I'm sorry. I think that I want your listeners to just think about, you know, as far as. Zionism believing, some people believe, Zionists believe that everything Israel does is right, and we have to support them, national Israel, no matter what.

But if you just read the Old Testament, just read through the prophets, especially like right now, I'm just rereading, I'm reading again through Jeremiah. My goodness, God certainly never said everything Israel did or Judah did was right. In fact, just the opposite happened.

And he allowed both parts of Israel, the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah, both of them to be taken into captivity and exile. And so he absolutely did not think everything they did was right. And I think that we need to keep that in mind as we think about national Israel today.

Oh, that's good.
