Few global conflicts are as deeply rooted and emotionally charged as the Israeli-Palestinian struggle. In this episode of The Unfounded Podcast, we take a step back from the noise, frustration, and polarization to attempt something rare—genuine understanding.
With modern tensions in Gaza as a backdrop, we unravel the historical layers of the conflict, tracing its origins to the rise of Zionism in the late 19th century and examining how narratives on both sides have often been oversimplified, manipulated, and weaponized. The discussion highlights the profound religious and historical ties to the land for both Jewish and Palestinian people, questioning whether this war is more ideological than territorial. Through an exploration of ancient texts, including the deeper meaning of Israel as "those who wrestle with God," we analyze how faith and history intertwine with contemporary geopolitics.
More than just historical analysis, this episode is a call for nuanced conversation—a challenge to move beyond the cycle of retaliation and blame, toward a perspective rooted in compassion and responsibility.
Lots of Love <3
