The Creation of Israel | Welcome to Seas...

15-Minute History Podcast
About this episode

One year ago, Hamas terrorists attacked Israel and killed or captured well over a thousand of its citizens. In response, the Israeli government launched its largest military campaign since 1973 and killed thousands in the Gaza Strip. The war has since expanded with Israel battling Iranian-backed proxy militias in Lebanon and defending itself from missile and drone attacks across the country.

This season is called "Good Idea, Bad Idea." We are going to discuss the long-term results--positive and negative--of some of history's most important people and events. We promise to cover these topics openly and honestly, ask questions, and give you context to find answers. Through these episodes and discussions, we hope to bring you the facts of history and, as always, allow you to draw your own conclusions.
