Israeli presence in Palestine

The podcast explores the historical and complicated presence of Jews in Palestine, with multiple groups claiming ownership of the territory. The Hebrew University, founded in 1925, had good relationships between Arab and Jewish communities. However, violent attacks, such as the Hebron massacre in 1929, have strained relations. The creation of a Jewish state in 1948 was met with opposition from Arab nations, which resulted in an Arab invasion. Despite these historical complexities, the podcast argues that Israel has a long-standing presence in the region.
