Recognizing Terror: How the West Is Undermining Peace in the Middle East

From the growing wave of countries recognizing a Palestinian state to the UN’s continued hypocrisy, Emily Schrader challenges the narratives being pushed by Western governments and international institutions in this episode. Schrader unpacks how political cowardice and appeasement, especially in places like the UK, France and Canada, are not just misguided but dangerous, sending a message that terror tactics pay off. She warns that recognizing statehood in this context isn’t a step toward peace, but a reward for violence.
