The Impact of Dehumanization and Demonization

The podcast episode delves into the impact of dehumanization and demonization in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The speaker highlights how the Israeli media portrays Palestinians, creating a perception that they are not human beings and are instead cruel, brutal, and barbaric. This dehumanization serves as a tool to justify the brutal policies implemented against the Palestinians. The speaker raises concerns about the danger of normalizing ideas like transfer and ethnic cleansing, as the Israeli discourse shifts more towards endorsing these ideas. They emphasize the need for the international community to take action, as Israeli public opinion and the Israeli government will not change on their own.
