Hey everyone, Malika here. Weeks into a ceasefire with Hamas that was supposed to see an end to the fighting and a surge of aid into the Gaza Strip, Israel has continued its attacks. Deliveries into Gaza are still only trickling in, and the humanitarian…

…get to today's episode, just to note that my conversation was recorded before the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Today, when trauma becomes a weapon. This is a very emotional issue. It's not about intellectual facts or historical facts…

…the trauma of the October 7th attack itself would often get referenced. The savagery that we witnessed, perpetrated by the Hamas murderers, coming out of Gaza were the worst crimes committed against Jews since the Holocaust. How do you understand the…

…That's the second thing I'll be thinking about. The third thing is rather not cynical, but realistic. There have been ceasefires between Hamas and the Palestinians in general on the one hand and Israel on the other. If you actually look at the history, if…

…Shamir, another notorious terrorist, head of the Stern gang, also became a prime minister of Israel. And then we complain about Hamas being terrorists. The Yassin was not the first massacre of Palestinians and the first expulsion. That began already in 1947.…

…And these are the people that become prime minister of Israel. He was an expert at it. And then they talk about how Hamas are terrorists and all this. If Hamas are terrorists, they're not very efficient at it. Israelis are far more efficient, they always…
