Navigating Political Tensions and Fear of Civil Conflict in Israel
Exploring the divergent ideologies and escalating violence within Israel, raising concerns about the possibilities of civil war and division fueled by extreme religious and political beliefs.
Aharon grew up in a settlement in the West Bank, and has come a long way since. Today, he lives in Tel Aviv, writes and teaches about crypto-currencies and blockchain technologies as a means for change, and is currently completing his Master's degree in public policy at Tel Aviv University. Following the 2011 Israeli social justice protests, Aharon co-founded several cooperatives, and in the past few years has been participating in protective presence activity in the West Bank to aid Palestinian shepherds and farmers.

A few important disclaimers:
I created and funded this podcast privately. I don’t belong to any organization, nor does it represent anyone other than myself.
Secondly, I don’t intend this content to provide a justification or excuse for the actions people interviewed did in their past, but rather to learn from their personal experiences and gain insight as to what the process of transformation looks like. Certain parts of the episode could be triggering for you, and I advise taking into consideration that some of the events discussed are morally and ethically challenging (to say the least).
.
And lastly:
I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I work as the indigenous people of this country, and pay my respects to their elders, past and emerging.
