As we approach the two-year mark since October 7, 2023, it's time to take a hard look at the war in Gaza—and how we got here. 

In this episode, I revisit the goals we were told would guide the war effort, and the assumptions behind them. 

I also share personal conversations I’ve had with various Israelis about the war, explore shifting public sentiment in Israel, and examine how the world now sees us. From military strategy to the war narrative to the question of a Palestinian state, I’ll attempt to change your perspective on what Israel needs to do next. 

Because if we’re serious about protecting Israel’s future, we have to be willing to rethink everything—even the things we once thought were sacred.
