Understanding Israel Palestine
This show is inspired by Citizens for Justice in the Middle East, a local group that has advocated for 20 years for a fair and even-handed U.S. foreign policy that recognizes the rights of both Palestinians and Israelis. Our program offers interviews with journalists, scholars, policy experts and activists to offer multiple perspectives, and to clarify the underlying issues that are often obscured by headline news.
Khaled Hroub talks to Margot Patterson about the evolution of Hamas, the Oct. 7th attacks, and the ceasefire plan proposed by President Biden to end the war in Gaza. A professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Northwestern University in Qatar, Hroub has studied and written about Hamas for 25 years. He is writing a book about the tunnels in Gaza that will be published later this year. His chapter about Hamas’ Oct. 7th attack on Israel appeared in the recently published book Deluge: Gaza and Israel from Crisis to Cataclysm.
