The Critically Zionist Podcast

Episode Description

The assassination represented the beginning of the end of one of the most hopeful, and also divisive eras in Israeli history- the peace process between the Palestinians and Israelis initiated by The Oslo Accords, a groundbreaking agreement led by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Yassir Arafat, Chairman of the Palestinian Authority with the strong support of US President Bill Clinton.

We try to remember Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin as a person, a soldier, and a statesman, delve into the Oslo Accords and the peace process and reckon with what has happened in Israeli society since the tragedy of Rabin's assassination.

Israel is inspiring, it's frustrating, it's confusing. It’s not easy to understand our feelings towards the Jewish State. So, have a listen to The Critically Zionist Podcast - a podcast for critical Zionists who see Zionism as critical.

Join us, Shuki and Noam, for a candid conversation on the major issues facing Israel and Zionism today. We made aliyah together in 2011 to Kibbutz Saad, served in the army, worked in the fields and hiked the Israel national trail together, and stayed friends through it all.  We want to share the perspectives we’ve gained throughout our journey to shed light on these issues in an open and honest conversation, over our favorite Israeli beers.

 Shuki is an Israeli tour guide for Hartuv Tours, married to Abi and Abba to Maayan. He grew up in Hamilton, Ontario, he's a die-hard Blue Jays fan, dead head,  beer and whisky fanatic. They live in Tel Aviv.

Noam is a die-hard Zionist, married to Liraz and Abba to Geffen. He grew up in Chicago, has been a Cubs fan since 2nd grade and is currently the commissioner of Israel’s first 16-inch softball league. They live in Jerusalem’s Kiryat Yovel neighborhood
