"The Anatomy of War in "The Holy Land" and within ourselves."

I am the first generation born in America from my paternal line. My father was Israeli. So this war in particular has felt very personal, and has also in many ways served as a mirror for the conflict in my own family, and my own psyche. I've always hated war and yet always had a warrior inside ready to run in to it with all cylinders fired. Nothing else forces us to confront the duality of human nature quite like war- except maybe love. War leaves a mark on all of us, wether or not we choose to acknowledge it. It shapes our families, our stories, even our own internal struggle for a sense of the unified self. But here's the paradox: some believe peace is wityh maintaining at any cost, even if the cost is the preservation of our own line, while others think that war, strong, aggressive, and seemingly indiscriminate action is the only solution. Even at the cost of another people. Both paths can seem justifiable , but neither has ever sat right with me. Depending on which side someone supports people have justified one over the other without asking if there is an actual sollution that picks no sides, but chooses people instead. Often sides are chosen from a place of fear and/or ignrance. Either fearing being ostricized by the majority or being deluded by some sense of moral high ground for whichever side we deem justified. So how do we move toward peace? Do we protest? Do we fight? Do we fund, or defund? And how do we know what's true when media, art, and storytelling themselves are weapons of war – shaping enemies, allies, and the very possibility of peace? on this show will ask the uncomfortable questions. Including: who is profiting from this war who decides what we see in here and how are we here in the first place what is the anatomy of the present war in the holy land? And is peace actually possible in a world where the most sacred places are also the most scarred by violence? war leaves no winners, and in action can often result in as many if not more losses than war. But I have to believe for my own family in peace, that maybe there's a real path to peace that begins with talking through the anger, through the accusations, the grief, the media that we consume, the fear – and the stories we've been told, the ones we've experienced, especially the ones that shaped us. join me as we dive into the anatomy of war, to search for the truth hidden underneath the unseen twisted truth. Because the more we realize this is a family story, the more chance there is to unite as grandparents mothers and fathers brothers and sisters on behalf of all our children. No sides no enemies nor allies, family unified in our effort to see a more peaceful world that would ultimately result in a more peaceful, more unified, more integrated, and therefore free self for generations to come.
