📰 What Happened
ZeroHedge is hosting a live debate on August 1, 2025, at 7:00 PM ET between podcast host Dave Smith and former NYT journalist Alex Berenson focusing on the Israel-Gaza conflict. The debate emerged after viral exchanges on X (formerly Twitter), where Smith accused Berenson of avoiding confrontation and Berenson claimed Smith was oversimplifying complex issues. Smith, host of 'Part of the Problem,' has criticized Israeli policy in Gaza as a humanitarian disaster.
📖 Prophetic Significance

The real-time, global nature of this debate platform creates division and discussion about Israel at a scale impossible before digital technology.
