About this episode

Even as Israelis have grown more critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the last year, their complaints have been largely disconnected from Palestinian suffering. With a society shifting farther to the right and a media landscape that echoes the government’s narrative, how has the war changed at all for Israeli society? And what future awaits Israelis who oppose the actions being done in their name?
