Thanks for listening to the Town Hall Review with Hugh Hewitt podcast, bringing to you the best voices on the stories and issues that matter.

Here's another piece I'll trust you and enjoy.

We're going to do a local story and an international story at the same time because we're going to talk about Solon with somebody who's in Israel right now.

He is a Solon resident.

And he is also a member of the IDF, the Israeli defense forces.

He is fighting for Israel and for its right to exist against the bloodthirsty savages from Hamas

and trying to navigate through what is a strange, weird sort of ceasefire that isn't really a ceasefire that is resulting in a few hostages being released.

So it's really an important situation over there we need to discuss.

But the situation back home is also very important.

As anti-Semitism has apparently reared its ugly head in Solan, and it has been driven by an Islamic center, a mosque, the Shagrin Valley Islamic Center.

And one resident, the aforementioned soldier in the IDF, is really, really upset about it and

asked for some support from the city to stop said anti-Semitism, and the city instead has backed

the mosque.

So joining us now is Mark Liner.

He is joining us from Israel, where again, he is working in the defense of Israeli people

and Israeli sovereignty in the ongoing attempt to run them from the river to the sea.

Mark Liner, good morning.

Thanks for coming on.

How are you this morning out there in Israel?

I'm doing good.

How are you doing it?

I guess I should say this afternoon, right?
