“We face an enemy whose only strategy is a war on our morality.” Haviv Rettig Gur dives deep into Hamas’s use of civilians as human shields—turning compassion and international law into weapons. This is what happens when morality becomes the battlefield. Watch the full episode:

“Hamas is both Palestinian—and not at all Palestinian.” Haviv Rettig Gur unpacks how Hamas’s roots lie not in Palestinian nationalism but in a pan-Islamic struggle to restore Islamic power. This isn’t just a political conflict—it’s a theological one. To understand why compromise

Meet Rivky Stern, our NYC-based producer who is living the intense reality unfolding in Israel. With her family in tow and the Iran conflict escalating, she’s experiencing a side of life words fail to capture. All while coping with sleep deprivation, a hectic workload, echoes of

Iran’s biggest weakness isn’t military—it’s internal. The regime is deeply unpopular, fractured, and has long prioritized exporting revolution over taking care of its people. That crisis of legitimacy? It’s catching up. 🎧 Full episode on Unpacking Israeli History. Link in bio.

Wait - why can Israel (maybe) have nukes, but Iran can’t? It comes down to one thing: survival. Zionism was never about expansion—it was about existence. Israel’s goal isn’t dominance. It’s to not be wiped off the map. That’s the difference. 🎧 Full episode on Unpacking Israeli

Since the 1979 revolution, Iran’s mission has been clear: destroy Israel, push the U.S. out of the Middle East, and rewrite the global order. Behind that mission is more than just ideology — it’s strategy. A fear that if Israel and the Arab world make peace, Iran gets boxed out.

Klauswitz said victory means destroying your enemy’s ability to fight. Sun Tzu said real victory means defeating your enemy’s strategy. When it comes to Israel, Hamas, Iran, and Hezbollah—the question isn’t just: have we weakened their capabilities? It’s: have we disrupted the

Many of Israel’s adversaries frame it as a colonial project—like the French in Algeria. But that’s a fundamental misunderstanding. To most Israeli Jews, the idea that we’re foreigners here is incoherent. We’re not settlers—we’re children of this land. That doesn’t erase

🎙️ In 1979, no one saw it coming. @royathewriter explains why so many Iranian intellectuals saw Khomeini not as a radical—but as a Gandhi-like figure. There was no Taliban, no ISIS, no Sinwar. The warning signs we recognize now just didn’t exist yet. This moment changed the

There’s no natural conflict between Israel and Iran—only a political one. Before 1979, the two had strong ties. So why not imagine a future where that partnership returns? 🎧 Full story with Tal Becker on Unpacking Israeli History – link in bio.

Ever wondered why we say 'seek peace and pursue it' instead of 'achieve it'? Peace isn't something we control entirely. Despite pushbacks from within or outside, pursuing peace doesn't mean being soft. It requires disarming the enemies of peace like ensuring Hamas doesn't govern

Is “Death to Israel” just poetry? In our latest episode, @royathewriter shares how even young Iranian Jews shrugged off that chant—and why the world still buys the “he doesn’t really mean it” line. 🔗 Full conversation in bio. #UnpackingIsraeliHistory #RoyaHakakian #Iran

This isn’t the start of a conflict between Israel and Iran—it’s the continuation of one that’s been playing out for years. The legal debate over war definitions? Missing the point. 🎧 Full story with Tal Becker on Unpacking Israeli History – link in bio.

🎙️ Druze and Jews: not just names that rhyme. Dive into the fascinating—and sometimes uncomfortable—parallels between Jewish and Druze history. Both persecuted. Both displaced. And both navigating their place in a complex Middle East. Full episode of Unpacking Israeli History

🎙️ A secret religion. A tiny population. A big presence in the Middle East. The Druze are one of the most fascinating—and misunderstood—minority groups in the region. Their religious texts are closed to outsiders (and even most insiders), they strictly forbid intermarriage, and

🎙️ One day you're Syrian. The next day, you're under Israeli control. In 1967, during the Six-Day War, Israel captured the Golan Heights—home to a Syrian Druze community. Suddenly, these Druze weren’t just caught in the crossfire—they were caught between two identities, two

On October 7th, Israel’s minorities were reminded of a painful truth: an attack on one is an attack on all. Druze fighters who risked or gave their life for Israel—these are stories of loyalty, loss, and courage that rarely get told. Full episode of Unpacking Israeli History in
