"The Hidden History of Israel" is a thought-provoking video featuring a conversation between Ghada Karmi, a Palestinian author, and Avi Shlaim, a Jewish professor. Both individuals share their unique perspectives, shaped by their personal experiences, on the complex history of Israel. Ghada Karmi fled her home during the Nakba, while Avi Shlaim served in the Israeli army. Their discussion sheds light on the Israeli-Palestinian issue, challenging dominant narratives and offering insights into the region's tumultuous past.
