In this segment Jimmy speaks with Miko Peled, an Israeli-American activist who describes his personal shift from a Zionist upbringing and military service to advocating for Palestinian rights. Peled argues that Israeli society is shaped by segregation and a narrative that obscures Palestinian experiences, and he characterizes the founding of Israel as rooted in displacement and violence. The discussion challenges commonly held beliefs about Jewish historical ties to the land, framing Zionism as a modern political project rather than an ancient national continuity. Throughout the conversation, Peled emphasizes moral responsibility, criticizing both Israeli policies and broader Western support for them.
