Amir Hetsroni | Beyond Hate | Episode 57

Amir Hetsroni is an Israeli media scholar and former professor of communications, as well as a novelist, stand-up comedian, and provocative social-media commentator.

He is one of the most controversial public figures in Israel today — outspoken, unfiltered, and constantly pushing boundaries. People know the clips, the statements, the outrage — but almost no one knows the person behind all of it.

In this episode, I wanted to understand not what he says, but why he says it. Where did this persona come from? What shaped the anger, the humor, the need to provoke?

This is not about justifying him or defending his opinions. It’s about curiosity. It’s about understanding the psychology, the story, and the human motivations behind someone who has become a national lightning rod.

You may feel the same way about him when you finish watching — and that’s completely fine. But for the next hour, we’re going deeper than headlines.

Curiosity isn’t agreement. It’s simply the courage to ask, why is this person the way they are?
