We Should All Be Zionists Podcast

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. We Should All Be Zionists means all, including Arabs and Muslims. 

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. 

In this episode, Einat discusses her topic of expertise: the Palestinian "right of return," which, as we have covered many times, is not a "right" enshrined anywhere in international law, nor would it be, for many people, a return. What do Western states not understand about this concept? 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.
