The Perpetual War on Israel: 1948-2023

The idea of an "Israeli-Palestinian conflict" is misleading. Since the establishment of Israel in 1948, Israel has faced many different enemies: monarchies, military juntas, nationalists, Marxist-Leninists, theocrats, and jihadists. Its enemies' identity and ideas change, but the central goal is the same: to fight and destroy Israel. Why have such a variety of movements and regimes targeted Israel? 75 years since the establishment of Israel, how well do we understand its battle for survival? Join Elan Journo and Nikos Sotirakopoulos to discuss these and other questions about the perpetual war on Israel.
