A proposito di questo titolo

Israel is often known through headlines steeped in strife. But the core realities of everyday life can be very different. In Israeli Voices: Who We Are, an eight-episode podcast, CITIZENARTS presents observations and heartfelt conversations with a wide spectrum of Israelis. These are not formal interviews but unvarnished moments – in homes, classrooms, on city streets, in businesses and in communities shaped by cultures rooted in history, myth, calamity – triumph.

As the series unfolds, common perspectives emerge — from people with widely varied backgrounds: Jewish and Palestinian citizens, native-born and immigrants from European and Muslim countries, the secular and the deeply religious.

What comes into focus is the humanity of a diverse, complicated, in some ways deeply divided society that is little or largely misunderstood by the world outside. Their voices blend into a truthful rendering of who Israelis are.

In the final episode, some of them come together in a forum to share opinions about their country — and to debate and ponder what comes next for Israel and its place in the Middle East and the world.

    Considering the roots of the provocative slogan “From the River to the Sea” – and sensitivities about how Jews and Palestinians in Israel identify themselves and each other.

    A small town famed for the first Aliyah – the first arrival of Jews in Palestine from Eastern Europe. And in a tree-shaded corner of the local cemetery a chilling interlude where early Jewish settlers rest beside Israeli soldiers killed in battles past and present.

    Mount Carmel – where the Prophet Elijah brought fire on pagan worshipers, and Technion – Israel’s MIT – drives Israel’s technology chutzpah, and there are panoramic views of the Mediterranean port city of Haifa, noted for relatively harmonious coexistence of Jews and Palestinians.

    At the Technion, a tech student dreams of his role in Israel’s self-proclaimed “start-up nation.”

    In Haifa, Rasool – lawyer, grassroots activist – considers what it means to be Palestinian in a Jewish state in conflict with Muslims. How Palestinians and Jews can move past historic enmities, stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination to build meaningful connections.
