ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
What can history teach us about the conflict in the Middle East?
Jonny Dymond brings together a carefully assembled panel of experts, academics and journalists to talk about the conflict in the region.
This week, Jonny's joined by Nomi Bar Yaacov, Associate Fellow at Chatham House and Dr Aviva Guttman, a lecturer in Strategy and Intelligence. Plus, Ronen Bergman, an Israeli investigative journalist with the New York Times.
They revisit the 1972 Munich Olympics when 11 Israeli athletes were kidnapped and killed. Israel’s covert programme of targeted assassinations would last 20 years in response. Now, 52 years later, as Israel continues to attack Hamas, we look at the echoes and reflections of five decades ago.
