UNPACKED – Can the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict be Solved? & Women of the Refuseniks
This week, we’re asking a simple question – without a simple answer – why not end decades of fighting by creating a Palestinian state right alongside Israel?
The two-state solution might seem like a modern proposal, but over the years there have been plenty of attempts to establish an Arab state alongside a Jewish one.
In fact, there have been six recognizable attempts to establish a Palestinian state, that date back to before the War of Independence in 1948.
So, why isn’t there a State of Palestine?
Like so many things, it all depends who you ask, with both sides blaming each other for the current circumstances…
Join us as we get to grips with this complicated situation, which seems to have no solution in sight.
Women of the Refuseniks
Some stories are too big to tell in a single video. That’s why we’re taking another look at the important story of Russian aliya (immigration) and the refuseniks.
This time, we’re examining the role of the women who stood up in defense of Soviet Jews and those women denied the right to leave the USSR.
The story began in 1971 when the plight of one Jewish woman in Russia galvanized Jewish women the world over to stand up and protest – with incredible results.
Meanwhile, within the USSR, women were taking terrible risks – and paid a terrible price for their actions.
Watch this week’s episode to learn more about these female refuseniks and the Jewish women worldwide who fought on their behalf.
