If you think the conflict is only being fought with rockets and raids, this episode will change how you see the battlefield.
Josh Hasten walks you through new findings on the Palestinian Authority’s 2025–26 curriculum, arguing it still mainstreams antisemitism, glorifies “martyrdom” and erases Israel from maps.
Hasten then pivots to a major Jerusalem development: Israeli authorities demolishing UNRWA’s headquarters compound after a law banning its operations took effect.
The real takeaway, though, is strategic: you’ll learn how language and framing (“settler,” “West Bank,” “occupation”) shapes global perceptions, why a few hundred extremists can be used to smear half a million Israelis living in Judea and Samaria and how the “war of ideas” can be as consequential as anything happening on the ground.
