Fauda -- Review of the Netflix's Israeli TV Show | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues

Fauda -- Review of the Netflix's Israeli TV Show | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues (Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Episode 16) Watch now: https://youtube.com/live/lVDNhQjTsL8 What does it say about the West that a Netflix thriller tells more truth about Israel and the Palestinians than most universities do? Torture works. Revenge can be justice. And one line from a Palestinian father explains the whole Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Yaron Brook and Nikos Sotirakopoulos take on Netflix's hit Israeli series Fauda, all five seasons. That includes the October 7 episodes that left viewers in tears around the world. Yaron grew up in Israel and served in the IDF (Israel Defense Forces). He explains why Fauda is the most realistic show ever made about undercover counterterrorism. It shows Shin Bet (Israel's internal security service) operators who speak Palestinian Arabic, smoke Arab cigarettes so the enemy can't smell them, and come apart from living two lives at once. No martinis. No glamour. Just chaos, which is what "fauda" means in Arabic. Then the hard questions. Why does a 2020 season about a hostage rescue in Gaza look like prophecy now? Did the show help lull Israel into "the concept," the belief that power had tamed Hamas? Why is recruiting the man who raped and murdered a comrade's family as a double agent a moral outrage? Why does Yaron call Season 5's episodes 7 and 8 essential viewing for anyone who didn't live through October 7? The live Q&A covers evangelicals turning against Israel, whether October 7 was an invasion rather than a "terror attack," Batman versus Iron Man, Shane, European food, and Yaron's plan for Capitalism AI.
