Exploring the emotional and challenging events of 2005 when Israeli Jewish settlers were forcibly evicted from Gaza, shedding light on the historical significance and political dynamics surrounding the withdrawal. The chapter also touches on media biases, challenges faced by journalists reporting in Gaza, and the ongoing struggle for a fair and peaceful resolution in the region.
Journalist and author Robert Wright invited EconTalk's Russ Roberts to his podcast, NonZero, to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, knowing that there would be plenty to disagree about. The two then agreed to release their back-and-forth on their respective podcasts. The result is a lively but respectful discussion that is more debate than the usual EconTalk episode. We hope there will still be much to learn from this slightly more combative than usual episode.
