COMPETING NARRATIVES IN THE ISRAELI-PALESTINE CONFLICT: HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL DIMENSIONS

SLING NEWS: This episode features a critical and scholarly examination by panelists James L. Gelvin (UCLA, University of California, Los Angeles), Salam al-Marayati (Muslim Public Affairs Council), and David Tal (former Israel Defense Forces) of the deeply contested narratives between Israelis and Palestinians concerning territories such as the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. The Israel-Palestine conflict is explored as a multifaceted and historically rooted struggle over land, national identity, and security. The discussion interrogates the persistent question of Palestinian statehood and the attribution of responsibility—whether to Israel or to broader geopolitical dynamics—while also analyzing how these complexities may be further impacted by a potential second Trump Presidency. Through nuanced perspectives, the panel elucidates the entangled historical, political, and social dimensions, resisting reductionist explanations and emphasizing the conflict’s enduring intractability.
