On episode thirteen of Prepare to Turn Right, I respond to Hamas's horrific terror attack against Israel and the ongoing war. I start by outlining a brief history of Israel, Palestinians, and Hamas leading up to the massacre on October 7 before addressing the oversights and attitudes that allowed Hamas to catch Israel so off guard. Then, I discuss overarching themes relevant to the war and debunk common false narratives about Israel. I also answer listener questions about what caused this, what happens next, how anyone could possibly blame Israel for this, and more. Finally, I share some of the lessons I have learned over the past few weeks and play a powerful video of a professor at Columbia speaking out against the pro-Hamas rallies that have rapidly spread across many college campuses.
