After examining whether Jews are indigenous to Israel, whether Jews are white colonizers, and whether Israel is an apartheid state, in Episode 4, we look at the very relevant question of whether or not Israel wants peace.

Episode 7 is the first of five episodes in which we answer some basic questions about Hamas, just as we did for Israel in Part 1. We start with looking back at what path was chosen by Palestinian Arab leaders more than 100 years ago and how that connects to the situation today.

In Episode 8, we provide some facts and history to help answer the question of whether Hamas can be trusted? After all, some degree of trust is necessary for peaceful coexistence.

In Episode 9, we examine the question of foreign aid, what’s become of the billions of dollars that were sent to the Palestinian Authority and Hamas and what role that’s played in the conflict with Israel.
