Bonus Episode: The 2023 Israeli-Hamas war: A Symptom of our era of Disorder?

Published: Oct. 12, 2023, 4 a.m.

b'On Saturday October the 7th the world awoke to the most horrific, chaotic, and game changing Arab-Israeli war in 50 years. But despite how tragic the news was, it wasn\\u2019t at all surprising. Internal divisions and partisan dysfunction inside previously functioning democracies (like Israel) have left previously secure and united societies, divided and open to their enemies. This has been an open invitation to those who wish to actively disorder global affairs.\\xa0\\n\\nIn this bonus episode, Jason Pack and David Patrikarakos discuss how, in our era of disorder, conflicts in one part of the world create immediate disordering reactions elsewhere. They\\u2019ll also talk about David\\u2019s time in Gaza, Jason\\u2019s conversations with anti-Semitic cab drivers in Lebanon and the West Bank, and how the internet radicalizes reporting on this conflict. Jason and David disagree agreeably about whether Hamas has already won this war. Finally, they\\u2019ll try to suggest ways out of this conflict, as they try to Order the Disorder.\\xa0\\n\\nTwitter: @DisorderShow\\xa0\\nWebsite:\\xa0\\xa0\\nhttps://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nProducer: George McDonagh\\xa0\\nExec Producer: Neil Fearn\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nShow Notes Links\\xa0\\n\\nSubscribe to the Disorder Show Monthly Newsletter here\\n\\xa0\\nFor depth on the historical context of the War: listen to Jason on Arthur Snell\\u2019s Behind the Lines here\\n\\xa0\\nBrett Stevens NYT Op-ed on potential solutions here\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
