Not quite sure what to make of the Israel & Palestine conflict? No fear , our guest this week will help breakdown this complicated situation that has gone one for generations.

This segment provides listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the concept of "land" in religious and political discourses, and how these issues resonate on the international stage.
