Chapter 31 - Palestinian Refugee "Return": A Critique

In this episode, recorded at the end of December 2024, Einat examines the arguments of Peter Beinart, a Jewish columnist in a favor of a one, non-Jewish state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and of resettling Palestinian "refugees" from the 1948 war inside of Israel. Then, Blake Flayton joins the conversation to discuss "Holocaust envy."

Chapter 30 - Rabin Would Not Have Brought Peace / The Killer of the Two - State Solution

In this episode, in which two essays are read, Einat lays the myth to rest that Yitzhak Rabin's assassination derailed the peace process between the Israelis and Palestinians. Why is the tenure of Rabin so mythologized and glorified? And if Yigal Amir did not truly kill the peace process, then what did?

Chapter 29 - Even the Left Supports Trump's Peace Plan

In this episode, Einat reads two short essays concerning the 2020 Trump Peace Plan for Israel/Palestine, which offered the Palestinians a state. Why did many even on the Israeli left support the proposal that was deemed inadequate? Then, Blake Flayton joins the conversation to dissect if the two-state solution is really dead, and what, for the time being, can serve in its place.

Chapter 28 - Confident Zionism

In this episode, Einat sheds light on "the new Zionists," the wave of young, courageous Jews in the Diaspora who are pushing back against anti-Zionism, the new form of antisemitism. These Jews understand that nothing will ever be good enough for those demanding they give up a key part of their identity. Then, Blake Flayton joins the conversation to discuss the cascading hatred on college campuses after the October 7th massacre and how best to combat it.

Chapter 27 - We Are Still A Minority in the Region

In this episode, Einat presents a concept that some westerners have a hard time understanding: although Jews make up the numerical majority in the State of Israel, they perceive themselves as the minority, and although Arabs in the State of Israel are the numerical minority, they perceive themselves, looking at the region at large, as very much in the majority. Then, columnist Blake Flayton joins the conversation to discuss the Mizrahi identity and Arab governance.

Chapter 26 - Introducing Muslim Zionism

In this episode, Einat co-writes with two young Arabs from the UAE about the possibility of a Muslim form of Zionism, a Middle East that embraces Israel. For this new generation, wars against the Jewish state can be seen as wasteful and a distraction. Then, columnist Blake Flayton joins to discuss Muslim society within Israel and the current war with Iran.

Chapter 25 - Yes to the Occupation, No to Settlements

In this episode, Einat makes the case for why the most obvious policy for management of the conflict is continued security control between the river and the sea, but a halt (or removal?) of civilians in areas where Israel does not exercise sovereignty. Then, columnist Blake Flayton joins the conversation with insights on the current Israeli government's agenda, and the possibility of getting a new government.

Chapter 24 - Palestinians Are Adults

In this episode, originally published as a short social media post, Einat explains the one thing that westerners cannot seem to grasp: Palestinians are, in fact, adults, who are capable of making adult decisions. Then, columnist Blake Flayton joins the conversation to go more into detail about this mental blockage and its consequences.

Chapter 23 - Fund More Than Just Aliyah Efforts

In this episode, Einat argues that although she once believed that the best thing for a Jew living in the Diaspora to do was to move to Israel, "to make Aliyah," today, it matters more for Israel to live in every Jew, rather than for every Jew to live in Israel. In order to make this a reality, Israel must invest resources not just in bringing Jews to Israel to stay, but to engage Diaspora Jews in all areas: education, culture, military, business, and more.

Chapter 22 - The Palestine Propaganda Complex

In this episode, Einat explores a problem that has been plaguing the Jewish people for decades: what to do when the entire world appears to be against you? How does one combat a web of lies so well established and prolonged? How can it be possible that the entire world can be wrong and the Jews right? Perhaps we should take inspiration from Ahad Ha'am, who published his essay "Chatzi Nechama" in response to the medieval blood libel.  Then, columnist Blake Flayton joins the conversation for an update on current events.
