The Israeli occupation of Palestine has been the longest military engagement ever. The Palestinians have received more financial aid than any group in history (larger per capita than the Marshall plan). There's no shortage of news coverage nor opinions on Israel, Palestine, Zionism nor Anti-Semitism.
So we talked to an Israeli Arab, who was capable of seeing both sides, to explore the nuance and intricacies of this complex narrative. More of a discussion and a learning exercise, than a debate, this was a fantastic opportunity to hear the rarely told story.
Whatever you think you know on this highly controversial topic, take the time to listen to someone that's served in the Israeli Army, dated Palestinian girls, and is prepared to admit the failings of his own side, as long as people aren't blind to the faults of the Palestinian leadership.
We don't claim to have all the answers, but I'm so glad we took the time to ask the important questions.
A discussion outside the echo chambers, from a psychological, philosophical and anthropological perspective. Education, religion and everything in between. See if we can tackle familiar controversies, and try and find a third way, a second dimension, or maybe just a fresher perspective.
