Ep. 39 — Roots of the Middle East Conflict w/Dr. Asaf Romirowsky

What is the true root of the Arab-Israeli conflict? Is it even accurate to call it an Arab-Israeli conflict? Perhaps, a Islam-Israel conflict? Perhaps something else. Asaf Romirowsky joins host, Jimmy Bitton, on Echoes of Jewish History to push us upstream — to the deep-rooted, complex theology fueling this conlfict. It’s about about Islamic land claims — fueled by an ideology that doesn’t see borders the way we do.And here’s the uncomfortable truth: Western narratives often oversimplify, casting this as a territorial dispute, a political problem. But it’s so much more.When we ignore the theological layer — "we’re playing checkers, while they’re thinking three-dimensional chess."Full episode drops Monday.
