The Writing on the Wall
I was joined by Reverend Mark Thompson a few weeks ago to discuss the New York Times report on Black pastors urging President Biden to call for a cease-fire in Gaza. In the weeks since then, hundreds if not thousands more Palestinians have been killed, and the AME Church Bishops Council has called not just for a ceasefire but for an end of US aid to Israel. Is the Biden administration's continued support of Israel worth losing the support of Black voters in the 2024 election?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
