Emotionally Raw Coverage

Amy and Dor leave Tel Aviv and head north for Givat Nili, taking Jonathan Gal up on his offer to visit this moshav (farming community) in Israel’s central-North where he and his family live.  Against the backdrop of a picturesque countryside, Jonathan describes his community’s response to October 7. Conversation turns to the history of Givat Nili, since it was founded in the 1950s by Mizrahi Jewish immigrants hailing from North Africa and the Middle East through recent attempts by online activists to shape another narrative. Amy marvels at just how easily things could have gone another way, and wonders aloud as to whether Piers Morgan would invite Himmler and Goebbels on the air if he’d had his show on in WWII. In response to a statement from the MIT president, Amy and Jonathan question the limits of tolerance on college campuses in the face of hate speech, wondering whether KKK revivals would be met with open arms.  

Join us for a special journey set to guitar strumming by Jonathan, also Israel’s foremost country music DJ. Tune into his show Rough Country on 106.2 FM. 

Recorded on November 16 (Day 41).
