Hi Marc, I really enjoyed watching this zoom briefing. I think your readers asked some great questions and I can see that they are interested in the Palestinian struggle and the international criticism of the war. You talked at the end about how your society can reduce the fear among Israeli citizens against arabs. You have a platform here (I’m not sure how big) but maybe you could add a segment each day that speaks to the suffering in Gaza, international perspectives and some Palestinian perspectives. I think it is in Israelis citizens best interest to be informed about how the world is viewing this. And for them to see some of the horrific videos and images that us outside of Israel are seeing everyday.

And a little ps. You talk about how you don’t understand why the idf are blowing up universities and mosques. And one reader questioned how do the idf know that these doctors and journalist being executed are Hamas fighters. Those of us protesting don’t understand this either and we come to the conclusion that the very fabric of society in Gaza is being targeted so that there can be no future in Gaza and Palestinians have no choice but to leave into the Sinai dessert.

Camille I am glad you enjoyed it and hopefully you learned a few new facts. I agree the Israeli public needs to have a better idea of what the world sees. Most of my readers are outside of Israel so it does not really accomplish the goal for me to write more about it. The listener asked about those being arrested in Al-Nasr and not being executed. I do not believe that Israel wants the Gazans to move to Sinai since the Eyptians would not stand for it, and our peace with Egypt is a strategic asset that we cannot lose. I believe Israel is clueless what to do. We cannot go back to what existed before but how to go forwards..
