Not quite sure what to make of the Israel & Palestine conflict? No fear , our guest this week will help breakdown this complicated situation that has gone one for generations. Dr. Constanza Musu is an associate professor at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa, and brings her extensive knowledge to shed light on the topic. The discussion goes beyond the surface-level interpretations and delves into the historical, political, and cultural facets that define Zionism.

With objective analysis and nuanced perspectives, the discussion navigates the intricate dynamics surrounding the State of Israel. This segment provides listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the concept of "land" in religious and political discourses, and how these issues resonate on the international stage.
