This is the first episode of our series on Palestine and hope to inform you all as much as we can. History didn't start on October 7th, so we feel it's important to discuss the past 100 years in effort to illustrate some understanding on what we've seen on a global scale, the past 7 months.   When talking about both sides The reach for an equivalent when there is none is fundamentally dishonest. With that being said we are not subject matter experts, and encourage you to research as extensively as possible.
