Dominique speaks with Maryam Younnes, a Lebanese Christian living in Israel, to discuss the collective trauma of October 7th on Israeli society and the psychological effects of living in an active war zone. While filming this podcast, missile interceptions can be heard in the distance. This is the daily reality of Israelis; support for radical Islamist ideologies has a real-life cost for civilians on both sides of this conflict.
