   Chapter 34 - The UAE'S Olive Branch

   In this episode, the final episode of the We Should All Be Zionists Podcast, Einat leaves us with a note of optimism: changing attitudes in the Arab world. Though October 7th oddly galvanized much of the world against Israel, there are those, still, from even the most unlikely of places, who have stood by Israel's side and done even more for peace.

   Chapter 33 - The Gaza Protests Are About Ending Israel

   In 2018, Einat wrote an essay about the riots that were shaking the ground of the border between Israel and Gaza. Einat understood then that the unrest wasn't about just better living conditions -- they were an expression of the desire to "return" to Israel -- violently. Then, Blake Flayton joins for a conversation about Jewish/Palestinian appropriation in Yafo bookstores.

Plus: a new addition to The War of Return, post-October 7th, and a conversation with Blake Flayton on the failings of Prime Minister Netanyahu and proposals for Gaza's future.

Worse, Egypt and Jordan and their desperate intent to signal that they are not Israel's friends have become their sworn enemies in international forums, spareheading various anti -Israel resolutions. Egypt has been for decades the number one producer and purveyor of hardcore anti -Semitic content to the Arab world. Israelis had resigned themselves to the fact that there are courts with Egypt and Jordan were the best that could be hoped for from an Arab country. […]
