## Resource

Dan Senor, host of the Call Me Back podcast and co-author of The Genius of Israel , is bullish on Israel. Is there anything that could change his mind? He and Adaam discuss what makes Israeli society strong and what might make it turn against itself. They also can’t resist some media naval gazing and debate whether the fall of sense-making gatekeepers is a boon or a curse. On the agenda: -Brave new media -Could anything make Dan go bearish on Israel? -Something bigger than yourself -The abominable dilemma (why Israel negotiates with terrorists) -War is hell (and the rest is sentimentality) -How to criticize Israel in an anti-Zionist era Uncertain Things is hosted and produced by Adaam James Levin-Areddy and Vanessa M. Quirk. For more doomsday thoughts, subscribe to: http://uncertain.substack.com. Get full access to Uncertain Things at uncertain.substack.com/subscribe
