Amiel Vardi is a professor of Classics at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and one of the founders of a grassroots movement called Ta'ayush: Israelis and Palestinians striving together to end the Israeli occupation and to achieve full civil equality through daily non-violent direct action.

Amiel was with our producer Max Freedman when he visited Rashash to report "The shepherd and the settler" for the BBC World Service. Listen to the full documentary, then return to this episode to learn more about why Ta'ayush focuses on herding communities, the resistance they face from settlers and soldiers, and why an older generation of activists struggles to find young Israelis who are willing to join them.

Unsettled is produced by Emily Bell, Asaf Calderon, Max Freedman, and Ilana Levinson.
