EP 30: The Myths That Define Israel-Palestine – Part 5: The Two State Solution

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2498884/fan_mail/new] The two-state solution has defined the conversation around Israel-Palestine for decades. In this Season 1 finale — the fifth and final part of this series — I make the case that it was never real. It was always a framework designed to manage Palestinian oppression while calling it a peace process. And I lay out what I believe is the only honest alternative.  Check out my substack page where I tackle some of the episode topics in depth and write about other issues our country and the world are facing today. https://substack.com/@ktdpodcast

EP 29: The Myths That Define Israel-Palestine - Part 4: No Partner For Peace

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2498884/fan_mail/new] For decades, we've been told Israel wants peace but has no partner to negotiate with. In Part 4 of the Israel-Palestine myth series, we show the opposite is true — tracing how Israel created Hamas, crushed every Palestinian protest movement, ignored every peace offer, and has kept imprisoned for 23 years the one Palestinian leader its own Mossad director said could negotiate. The "no partner" myth isn't just false. It's a policy.  Check out my substack page where I tackle some of the episode topics in depth and write about other issues our country and the world are facing today. https://substack.com/@ktdpodcast

EP 28: The Myths That Define Israel-Palestine - Part 3: Israel is a Democracy

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2498884/fan_mail/new] In Part 3 of my Myths of Israel-Palestine series, I examine the claim that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. In this episode, I trace the pattern from the founding documents to present day - examining the laws that codify discrimination, the mechanisms of control in the West Bank and Gaza, and why prominent scholars and major human rights organizations have reached the same conclusion.  Check out my substack page where I tackle some of the episode topics in depth and write about other issues our country and the world are facing today. https://substack.com/@ktdpodcast

EP 27: The Myths That Define Israel-Palestine - Part 2: Israeli Self-Defense

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2498884/fan_mail/new] In part 2 of my Israel-Palestine myth's series, I take a look at how Israel's "defensive" wars were actually planned expansion and how unconditional US backing enabled complete impunity. From 1967, to Sabra and Shatila, to "mowing the grass" in Gaza, Israel has operated under official doctrine of "intentional disproportionate force" while claiming self-defense. I examine the U.S. role in this impunity and what it means for understanding October 7th and Gaza today.  Check out my substack page where I tackle some of the episode topics in depth and write about other issues our country and the world are facing today. https://substack.com/@ktdpodcast

Ep 26: The Myths That Define Israel-Palestine - Part 1: Palestinian Rejectionism

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2498884/fan_mail/new] In a five-part series examining the myths that define the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I explore the truth behind the stories we’ve been told. In Part 1, I take on the myth of Palestinian rejectionism — the claim that Palestinians have always rejected peace. From the 1947 UN Partition Plan to the Oslo Accords, Camp David, and the 2008 negotiations, this episode examines what was actually offered, why those deals failed, and how the rejectionism narrative became one of the most powerful myths shaping the conflict.
