In today's episode I speak with my friend Daniella Saar about the terrors of October 7th, the rise in global anti-semitism including the riots on college campuses, the reality of sharing borders with enemy states and the ethical concerns of awarding a so-called "Palestinian Journalist" for photographing murdered Israeli woman, Shani Louk, as her lifeless body was driven to Gaza by Hamas terrorists.
If you're Jewish you've probably been asked "Why don't the Jews in Israel just go back to where they came from?!" Daniella discusses the sheer impossibility of this anti-zionist trope, the reality of descending from Holocaust survivors, and laments the 2024 reality of Israelis to consider where they might hide their children in the face of another on-ground invasion.
Daniella also discusses how her politics have changed since the war, and why she continues to send her son to a school of Jewish, Muslim and Christian faith.
Daniella Saar is a mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend, educator, lactation consultant and poet living in Jaffa, Israel.
