Can the Right and the Left Unite for Palestine? A Zionist General's Son Sees A Path w/ Miko Peled

About this episode

Miko Peled discusses the political landscape surrounding Israel and Palestine, exploring potential alliances and ideological fractures in American politics.

In this conversation, Israeli-American author and activist Miko Peled — the son of a famous Israeli general — reflects on the current political moment surrounding Israel, Gaza, and the widening regional war. We discuss the silence in Israeli society around the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, the difference between Judaism and Zionism, and why Israel appears locked in what Peled describes as a culture addicted to permanent war. We also examine Israel’s long-running obsession with Iran and the deeper strategic logic behind endless conflict in the region.The conversation then turns to an unexpected development in American politics: growing dissent on the right from figures like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene who are questioning U.S. support for Israel’s wars. Could this moment of political fracture create strange new alliances around Palestinian freedom, or will it collapse under ideological differences? We explore whether the cracks appearing in the traditional pro-Israel consensus might signal a turning point for the future of Palestine.00:00 Coming Up...01:56 Intro to Miko Peled06:24 Miko Becomes Digestible07:14 Where Are We At?10:37 Why is Israel Obsessed With Iran13:13 Is…
