Ep43 The Attack by Hamas on Israel & The Stockholm Syndrome with Dr. Kenneth Levin

Today's Life Lessons feature Dr. Kenneth Levin, renowned psychiatrist and author of several books about complex aspects of psychiatry. One of his books, 'The Oslo Syndrome: Delusions of a People Under Siege,' explores why Israel agreed to the Oslo agreements with the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which were not in Israel's best interest. Dr. Levin discusses the phenomenon of the Oslo Syndrome, where many Israelis develop sympathy for the Palestinians due to the ongoing conflict. He also touches on the issue of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment among progressive Jews. The interview delves into the historical context and the challenges faced today by the Jewish community.
