Before the Borderlines: A Brief History of Israel and Palestine

Summary:

In this episode, we take a step back from the headlines to offer a clear, accessible, and historically grounded overview of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Before engaging with contemporary debates—especially the complex claims surrounding Israel’s right to exist and the rhetoric of regimes like that of Iran—we explore the deep historical context that underpins the region's present-day tensions. This episode serves as a preamble to a more focused exploration of Zionism and modern geopolitical dynamics in a future instalment. Whether you're new to the topic or seeking abalanced perspective amid today’s polarised media, this is a story-driven introduction meant to inform, not inflame.
