On Uncut Season 2 premier, we dive into one of the world's most complex and enduring conflicts: Israel and Palestine. This podcast unpacks the historical roots, cultural narratives, and political dynamics that have shaped the region for over a century. Through conversations with historians, journalists, activists, and voices from both sides, we strive to provide a balanced and nuanced understanding of the conflict's many dimensions.
Whether you're looking to grasp the basics or seeking in-depth analysis, this episode guides you through key events, figures, and ideologies—shedding light on how religion, politics, and identity intersect in ways that continue to impact millions. Join us as we navigate the ongoing challenges and the prospects for peace, with empathy and respect for the people whose lives are shaped by these borders.
