One of the most prevalent ongoing debates is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. With generalized labels being thrown around by people and the media, the problem arise that terms, like 'pro-Palestine' and 'pro-Israel', fail to capture the nuanced views held by many people and how harmful that can be to the story's narrative. Judith Levine from The Guardian joins Boyd to discuss these concerns.
They talk about how these labels perpetuate the zero-sum mindset and antagonistic narratives in the Middle East. We need to separate the government from the people because Israeli and Palestinian spaces are interdependent.
We can be critical and compassionate at the same time as we are critical consumers of media. Let’s skip over the complexities and nuances just so we can have a flashy headline and dig deeper into finding solutions to this issue rather than creating more divisions.
