“Understanding Israel” is a series of podcasts and live online meetings dedicated to discussing the perennial questions of Israeli politics, society, and economy in the current context.

Here, we speak simply and clearly, discussing and explaining the realities of Israel to Russian-speaking Jews in the diaspora and new immigrants, providing our perspective and analysis of modern Israeli life.

In this episode, we hosted social analyst, journalist, and political scientist Leonid Goldenberg, author of the Telegram channel “Goldenberg Speaks” and the news media platform “Mezuza”.

Together, we delved into the reality of Arabs in the Palestinian Authority and all of Israel after the events of October 7, examined changes in Israeli society and its citizens in 2024, discussed the role of diaspora Jews in Israel’s life, and talked about what awaits Israeli politics in the near future.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres added Israeli army to a global list of offenders who have committed violations against children. This outrageous decision shows better than anything that Palestinian propaganda works much better than Israeli “Hasbara” (public diplomacy/explaining).

Months ago it became clear, that Israel looses its war for hearts and minds. October 7 showed once again that anti-Israel and anti-Zionist campaigns can perfectly work even in a lose-lose situation for Palestinians. Tons of lies are always accepted much better than a single truth, especially, when we know that an old good antisemitism, has never disappeared, especially in Europe. Alive and kicking, it helps Iran and it allies in their war against the Israel, physical, as well as psychological.

How did the Jewish State start from a mass murder of innocent Israeli civilians and ended up with the image of dehumanized aggressor? Do we have to give up and stop our war of words against terrorists all over the Middle East?

On 01.07.2024 we had an online discussion on this topic with Elina Bardach-Yalov, former MK, exepert in strategic communications
