What A Day - An All-Consuming Rage

President Joe Biden touched down in Israel on Wednesday in a show of support for a nation in mourning – but also warned against the human cost of being swept up by wartime rage. He also confirmed that Israel agreed to allow the beginning of humanitarian aid into Gaza from Egypt.

Representative Jim Jordan once again lost his bid to become the next House speaker, with more of his Republican colleagues voting against him in the second round. A third round is scheduled for today, but his losses raise questions over whether he can get the support of his entire caucus. 

And in headlines: the man long suspected of killing Natalee Holloway in 2005 confessed to her murder, migrant families with children will now only have 60 days to stay in New York City shelters, and the city of Columbus, Ohio approved a sweeping deal to cancel $335 million of medical debt.

The Daily Signal - From Israel: Yael Eckstein Says ‘Even ISIS Didn’t Do Things Like This’

“Israel is a country who cherishes life,” Yael Eckstein says, “and our enemies know that."


Those enemies use that fact as a tool against Israel, adds Eckstein, president and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, who is today's guest on "The Daily Signal Podcast."  


Hamas killed 1,300 Israelis and took hostage about 200 “elderly, babies, children, women, [and] handicapped” in its surpise attack Oct. 7 on Israel, she says, and the situation is “unfathomable.”


“Even ISIS didn't do things like this,” Eckstein says, adding that when Hamas describes its aim as “to wipe Israel off the map and kill every man, woman and child, we have to take that seriously.”


Speaking as a wife, mother, and global ministry leader living in Israel, Eckstein explains that Israelis are living in a paradox right now. 


“On one hand, we are as broken as I can ever remember the people of Israel being. And on the other hand, we are stronger than we've ever been,” she says on the podcast. 


On the podcast, Eckstein describes the work in Israel of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, as well as Israel's response to the surprise terrorist attack by Hamas.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘My People’ is a collection of stories – spanning decades – about Black America

Charlayne Hunter-Gault is a trailblazing journalist. The first Black reporter for The New Yorker's "Talk of the Town" section, she's spent more than a half-century reporting on the lives of Black Americans. Her newest book, My People, is a collection of pieces written throughout her career that provide a nuanced look at Black communities across the U.S. In this episode, she speaks to NPR's Michel Martin about how our country's understanding of race has changed since she first began working as a journalist, but how some things – like the bans on books by certain authors – kind of stay the same.
