Introduction

Brad Pearce joins Scott to talk about the work he’s done digging into the claims that the IDF was responsible for much of the devastation on October 7th. Pearce explains the history of Israel’s evolving doctrine for preventing and avoiding hostage situations to help us better interpret what happened that day in Southern Israel.
