Description
In the wake of Hamas' unprecedented attack across Israel's southern border with Gaza, we met with Amichai Magen, Visiting Fellow in Israeli Studies at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies to take stock of the humanitarian and geopolitical dynamics in Israel, Gaza, the Middle East, and the globe writ large. As the chess pieces of this conflict continue to move, the central question is whether pragmatic Islamic states can establish stability by resisting the seeds of chaos sewn by the "Axis of Resistance." The irony of jihadist terrorism is that Muslims disproportionately bear the brunt. Tectonic plates are shifting. Will Hatikva (The Hope) prevail? Listen for what phoenix might rise from these ashes. Magen quotes Israel's first prime minister David Ben Guron to say, "If you don't believe in miracles, you're not a realist." Join us.
