[@katheywhearley8074]

Ever since I found out about the Holocaust I have had nothing but love for Jewish people! I have never wanted anything ever again to happen to these wonderful people! I hate this so bad for them and do not understand people that have this kind of hatred! How can we hate a whole group of people because they are Jewish or whatever! Nothing bad should ever happen to these people again! I love the Jewish people and never wish any more atrocities to happen to them! ❤️❤️❤️

[@dawnjohnson3263]

Amen Kathey

[@user-mc3uf6fb2c]

Me too. I feel love, sympathy for the Jews. They having had the holocaust experience is enough. I'm praying for them. I'm praying for peace in Israel and peace in Palestine for in their peace shall the Nations of the world have peace too.

[@namulemecaroline4458]

All our prayers for them

[@wealth-qz9hs]

Amen to that, Jews are good people, but if you smite them they will have to defend themselves as they weren't able to defend themselves during the holocaust. Jews are Gods people,

[@American4.ISRAELS.right2exist.]

The wierdest thing to me is that There's NCO nonprofit organizations who know this. I am a activist that raises awareness about hate groups. I worked for an activist group called Grassroots. That pay a lot of money to teach people about fundraising to keep antihate agencies alive. 😮 I had a pamplet that had the major hate groups on it. No where was there a Muslim Brotherhood Hamas Hezbollah Free Palestine Hate group listed. Only Isreal Hate groups! Southern poverty law, doctors without borders, lgbtq+ and other Democrat Progressive liberals were trying to change my political views. Promoting Kamala for president in 2020. Because they hated Trumps mean tweats and slurred his reputation with Made up stereotype buzz words. Propaghanda is what They are pushing so I quit working there.

[@Grateful_Grannie]

Our little house of prayer prayed & fasted for Israel for 21 days in May. We’ve always prayed for Israel, but all meetings since include such passionate prayer. Just saw a shirt from this channel of Israeli soldiers singing worship song. It was such a feeling of connection. Love you guys!

Am Yisrael Chai 🇸🇻💕 You guys really are an inspiration for the nation! Been following Rudy for years now, so uplifting & he has inspired many of us to not be quiet & step out of our shell. Arky has been such a light to so many of us through his videos & I think he really captured it, making sure we don't see worse atrocities than they have by getting lost in the media activity. He's so right, uniting with eachother, dovening, singing, dancing...it takes it all away. Thank you so much for this interview! B'H Checking out the daily Aliyah book also.

[@maily2245]

We Canadian in Canada didn't get to see this pod cast until now by chance we ran into this podcast I,m a fan of Israel people's from now on !!

[@WorldifySanity]

This is the Israeli flag 🇮🇱

[@SVDBYJC]

This man is amazing. In the horrors of war he is a light in the darkness. God bless Arky and Rudy God bless Israel

[@cslurzberg]

Thank you for interviewing Arky! He's such a beautiful light and valuable Chayal.

[@Hope20241]

They won't prevail though their hate is strong ,love is stronger than hate and millions of christians are praying for Israel and do stand for Israel.🙏 Amazing testimony of Arky and Rudy.

[@kimhorton7404]

This has been such an inspiring and wonderful conversation. Arky, you are a true inspiration. As a mother, grandmother, lover of Israel having visited a number of times including to Nachal Oz, I was traumatized by the atrocities only imagining it was my own children, grandchildren etc. How would I react? How would I walk thru something like that? I believe God gives us the grace we need for our current situation and He is WITH us, walking us thru it. I refuse to watch the graphic media stuff and I have to take a break from war updates. I can only imagine being a soldier, a father a husband and living thru this. We honor the dead by living, laughing, worshipping and serving and helping those who are alive, while praying for the safety and release of the precious hostages and victory over this evil by the armed forces and God Himself Who is more than able. Thank you for your words of wisdom and encouragement! I am praying for you all!! Love and hugs from Arizona USA! ❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Tincan777]

Amen to all of the above. We pray for Israel every day, and for the safety of the hostages. Sometime I wake up in the night and feel that I need to pray. Different timezone to you, I guess that throughout the world we've got you covered.

[@Judys_Jewish_Music]

AMEN!!! SO Glad that we’ve been introduced to Arky🙏🙏💙💙

I love that this is unifying people, and that your daughter knows that Hamas should be using their words. You can tell who the good people are. Bless you and we are praying for Israel.

From Kenya, praying for IDF and entire Israel. Israel stood with Kenya when we faced a lot of terror attack. God is your shield and defender. I agree with the 2nd interviewee, with the intersectionalism and minorities. Thankfully Christians across the world who know the Bible, understand what we need to do now-stand in prayer for the Jews and shutting down the hate. We see how God is unifying Israel.

[@AutisticBarbie]

As a fellow Baltimorian, I have absolutely no clue where Arky's surfer like accent came from.😂 But when he talks you can't help but smile.😊 His smile is contagious.🇮🇱🇺🇲

The IDF soldiers are indeed an inspiration to all. They are active and happy and prayerful to the Lord. They manifest what in the book of Isaah said, 'the dedicated army of the Lord." Praying for Israel. Watching replay from Victoria, BC, Canada.

[@bjornactual5037]

So funny thought. When we get baptized what covenant do we enter? The covenant of Abraham. So we are grafted in and when we receive or patriarchal blessing we learn our tribe. Not to mention the temple. So technically we are Jewish for we have been grafted in we just believe that messiah has come already as yeshua (Jesus). Any ways just food for thought 😊

Rudy, is so intelligent and articulate. His passion for a more peaceful land really comes through. I was really touched on your question of rather the soldiers were afraid or exited.
