Over the next six episodes in Part 3, we look back at the major historical events that led to where things are today. In Episode 12, we explore the demographic changes that occurred in the region and how choices made so long ago are connected to the violence that continues today.

To conclude Part 2, we consider the critical question of what Israel should do, given all we learned in the preceding ten episodes. Should Israel just stop, or should Israel continue the war?

What has Hamas, as the governing authority of the Palestinian people in Gaza, actually done for them? In Episode 10, we answer this question. What has Hamas delivered?

In Episode 9, we examine the question of foreign aid, what’s become of the billions of dollars that were sent to the Palestinian Authority and Hamas and what role that’s played in the conflict with Israel.

In Episode 8, we provide some facts and history to help answer the question of whether Hamas can be trusted? After all, some degree of trust is necessary for peaceful coexistence.

Episode 7 is the first of five episodes in which we answer some basic questions about Hamas, just as we did for Israel in Part 1. We start with looking back at what path was chosen by Palestinian Arab leaders more than 100 years ago and how that connects to the situation today.

Part 1 concludes in Episode 6 with a final, important question about Israel’s response to the Hamas attack on October 7th. Is what we’re seeing genocide or self-defense?

In Episode 5, we take up the suggestion that Jews lived peacefully and happily under Arab rule for many centuries. Is this true? Were those centuries of peace or persecution?

After examining whether Jews are indigenous to Israel, whether Jews are white colonizers, and whether Israel is an apartheid state, in Episode 4, we look at the very relevant question of whether or not Israel wants peace.

In Episode 3, we tackle the question of whether Israel is an apartheid state. It’s a claim that has been widely made but what’s the basis for that? Is it true?
