For over two years, the world has watched Israel carry out daily atrocities in Gaza and wondered: how did Israeli society allow this to happen? How could there be a powerful protest movement demanding the return of Israeli hostages, while opposition to the bombardment, mass killing, and starvation of Palestinians remained so limited? In this episode, Sally and Jess speak with Prof. Eran Halperin, head of social psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and founder and Co-Chairman of the aChord Center, to unpack the psychology shaping Israeli society today — and what it will take to bring about real change.
