How Social Media Blurs Israel-Palestine History
Israel-Palestinian Wars have always been misunderstood and deadly. But since Oct 7th, social media is redefining polarisation and history to new heights.
The Israel-Hamas War continues to have global repercussion including societal polarisation of those who support Israel and those who support Palestine.
Henry Abramson PhD, Dean of Landers College of Arts & Sciences, joined me as we dissect some of misconceptions around the historical relationship, why people believe what they do, and why October 7th was such a changing moment.
By watching the whole video you'll appreciate why history matters in understanding events now, how social media blurs that, and the manipulation of people.
Disclaimer: my goal with these interviews to stimulate intellectual discourse, and encourage you to reflect on your own knowledge and opinions.
Inevitably, you will disagree with some points. But the Global Gambit aims to engage all-sides, and ensure we come away enriched.
We will have alternative perspectives on the show in the future.

Greatly appreciate this, Pyotr. Thank you.
Why hasn't the word IRAN been mentioned? And why hasn't the cost and the purpose of the incredible tunnel system in Palestine been mentioned? And why was it not mentioned that Hamas hides (in violation of the UN rules for war) their military among civilians? This interview was so lacking!!
