“Israelis are used to rockets… it’s normal for them. But this [October 7] was a whole new level.”
In this crucial conversation with Maia Poet, an Israeli/American citizen, Maia shares the Israeli side of the Gaza war and her personal experience living through the October 7 attack. Maia will also delve into some of the history of the Middle East along with the culture of Gaza.
Maia notes that Gaza’s culture heavily focuses on radicalizing children from a very young age:
“They’ll teach kids math by saying that ‘3 Jews were killed on Monday and 2 Jews were killed on Tuesday. How many dead Jews are there?’ …
[the teaching curriculum] trains the teachers to train the children to become jihadists.”
This is a vital episode that you don’t want to miss. You will learn so much about the culture of Gaza and the realities of war that Israelis have to live with on a daily basis.
