Marking today’s sad first anniversary of the unprecedented, coordinated bloody October 7th Hamas attacks on Israel, nationally syndicated Salem Radio Network talk host Mike Gallagher is according to company sources, “taking a leap of faith that his listeners will stand up for Israel even as forces of darkness are banding together to try and wipe out America’s most important ally.”
Gallagher—pictured above in Israel with Yael Eckstein, president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews—has devoted all three hours of his 9:00 am – 12:00 noon ET program today to commemorate the atrocities of October 7, 2023 and to generate donations for IFCJ’s campaign to provide emergency bomb shelter kits that can be delivered immediately to those in most desperate need throughout the Jewish state. Guests included IFCJ’s Eckstein; Joel Pollack, senior editor-at-large of Breitbart News; Iran/Middle East expert Jake Novak, and Shafir Botner, an Israeli ambulance driver currently aiding victims of Iran’s recent missile attacks…who was a helicopter pilot on 10/7/23 and helped rescue survivors of Hamas’ October 7th attacks on a music festival in Israel. Acknowledging the domestic disaster of Hurricane Helene—and having implored his listeners to open their hearts and wallets to non-profits like The Salvation Army and Samaritan’s Purse which are working around the clock here in America in the aftermath of Helene’s devastation in Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and elsewhere—Gallagher nevertheless felt compelled to act on the occasion of the October 7th anniversary. Gallagher tells TALKERS, “This was Israel’s 9/11, and the I feel it is important to recognize the one-year mark of the worst massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust when 1200 Israelis were brutally murdered and more that 250 were taken hostage.” He adds, “Israel and her people are facing attacks from enemies on all sides seeking her destruction,” further noting, “The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground throughout Israel right now —providing food, shelter, and safety to those in need during this crisis – and that’s why I’m partnering with IFCJ today. While praying for the best, IFCJ is preparing for the worst by packing emergency bomb shelter kits, and I hope my generous listeners can insure that enough can be provided throughout Israel.”
