🇮🇱 What does Zionism look like from Gaza’s border? 👌

As Israel’s military actions in Gaza dominate headlines, individual voices often get lost in the noise of politics and media. In this episode, we speak with Chelsea, an American-born Israeli who has lived on a kibbutz in the Gaza envelope and identifies as a Zionist. Her community was among those directly impacted during the October 7th attacks.

Chelsea shares what daily life looks like near Gaza: navigating rocket sirens, volunteering alongside neighbors committed to coexistence, and reconciling the fear of renewed violence with a desire for peace. She also explains how her understanding of Zionism shapes her outlook, distinguishing it from the way the term is often portrayed in public debate.

In addition to her personal story, Chelsea offers a professional lens as a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology specializing in PTSD among IDF soldiers. She discusses her research into interventions that help train attention and reduce the risk of trauma for soldiers in combat.

The conversation moves between lived experience and clinical insight, offering listeners a rare perspective on the human cost of conflict, the psychological weight of war, and the contested meanings of Zionism in today’s discourse.
