Today, Jay!, Amanda, Deon and Erin discuss:
- How Israeli citizens and government officials use of the US's settler-colonialist past, westward expansion, and religious fundamentalism to justify their own settler expansion
- How the members of the extreme right are put in positions of power within the Israeli government, which is then used to validate the settler's actions
- The role racist propaganda and intergenerational trauma play in convincing Israelis of the righteousness of their settler-colonialist actions
- The societal dangers of living in an ethnostate combined with feeling of specialness that comes from generations of victimhood
