"The 1972 Munich massacre, the Olympic massacre, and the October 7, 2023, just rampage." This horrific rampage involved Hamas filming and broadcasting the murder of Israeli civilians. Hamas supporters overseas gloried in it. The protests in support of Hamas began before the Israeli bombardment of Gaza, as Hamas seeks to raise the cost and eventually drive out colonizers. However, as Golda Mayir said, there is no place for them to go."
Israeli journalist Haviv Rettig Gur takes us on a deep dive into the origins of Israel--how European Jew-hatred gave birth to Zionism and the founding of the Jewish state in 1948. He then turns to the rise of Palestinian terrorism and explains why the Palestinian experience and the Israeli experience are so incompatible. Along the way, Gur places the Holocaust in a much broader European context. I learned an immense amount from this conversation and hope you do, too.
