Episode Synopsis

It's been two years since the war between Israel and Hamas began. But as time goes, talking about the conflict hasn't gotten any easier. Whether it's with family and friends, at school or at work, these conversations are fraught with emotional baggage, and decades of historical trauma. On this episode of Just Asking, we take your questions about how to engage in these conversations meaningfully. Our guests are Raja Khouri and Jeffrey Wilikinson, friends and co-authors of the book, "The Wall Between: What Jews and Palestinians Don't Want to Know about Each Other". As the war continues, these two friends have been trying to foster dialogue between the two communities and will share their advice on how to talk to each other.
