From your work, what are the key lessons that we need to take?

So thank you.

And yes, it's true that on the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts, we can see how narratives and stories have created a culture in which some of the worst atrocities can happen and can happen with public support.

It is also true that we know that authoritarians around the world take pages from each other's playbooks, and we can learn a lot about both what has shaped narratives of fear and division by Prime Minister Netanyahu, who has been in power for more than two decades and has always understood the the great power of both communications and culture informing the stories we tell about ourselves and the stories that the world tells about us.

So he has held on to the Ministry of Communications and furthered narratives of fear and division, but he has also created a sense among his own population of Israeli citizens that the current outcomes are the inevitable ones.

that war is the only inevitable, reasonable outcome, and that the only way that you will be safe is if we increase these same things that we have been doing and make them more and make them bigger.

I'm talking about military interventions and restrictive police forces and things like that.

So that's decades of work to build public consciousness and listening to what he has to say and thinking, I like what this man has to say.
