What Is Hamas? Why Does It Hate Israel?

Hamas. Who are they? What is it? How did it start? What do they want? And why have its followers resorted to such horrific acts of terrorism?If you're new to the conflict in Israel, or you have lots of basic questions, this episode is for you.OUR GUEST: Prof. Elie Rekhess, Northwestern UniversityAlso, some universities are under fire for pro-Palestinian comments their students have made, particularly at Harvard and NYU (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/11/us/nyu-law-harvard-hamas-israel.html). Some students essentially blamed Israel for bringing this carnage on itself. Those statements led to very intense condemnation, and to a job offer being rescinded. Still, there’s another need that must be met in this situation, especially because these are young adults we’re dealing with.Liked this episode?
