Gadi Taub on Why Israel Is Never Allowed to Win (Part 4)
In Part 4 of Pamela Paresky’s ongoing conversation with Gadi Taub, the discussion continues to unpack the deeper dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This time their conversation focuses on the consequences of territorial loss, the legal constraints placed on military operations, and the powerful role media narratives play in shaping public understanding.
The episode challenges prevailing assumptions about the nature of warfare, particularly the expectation that wars can be fought without territorial consequences.
It also highlights how judicial interventions and bureaucratic overreach can hinder military effectiveness.
Throughout, Taub critiques the way mainstream media often distorts or oversimplifies the situation, contributing to a skewed international perspective.
