Talk with Mike Dahan
This online talk looks at Israel’s path from deep internal struggles to the unprecedented shock of October 7 and the changes that followed. It explores the divisions that shaped the country before the attack — social, political, and ideological — and how the events of that day exposed weaknesses in its security and government. The discussion also covers the competing stories told about the crisis, the fight over the fate of the hostages, and the broader conflict between two visions of Israel’s future: one based on secular, collective ideals, and another driven by religious nationalism and post-truth politics.
