As mentioned in the episode, Aseel Jad El-Haq is 28, the youngest of seven sisters. She grew up in Khan Younis, the daughter of a successful clothing company owner, going to the gym and visiting the beach with her friends and riding a horse named Beautiful (in Arabic). Her house and car were completely destroyed, the horse was killed, she's had to relocate over 20 times since the war began, and she's currently staying with her father (whose medical situation is serious), her mother (who has diabetes and needs insulin), one of her sisters, and that sister's young children. If you can help Aseel and her family, please do.

Liv speaks with ancient and biblical scholar Chance Bonar about the history of Palestine and the ancient Levant. This conversation examines the history of the place and the people, people which included Jews and Judaism co-existing with others who have called that land home since the Bronze Age, those same people the west seeks to erase. There is no attempt to delegitimize Jewish history in the region, only to examine how many peoples existed there and for how long. We look at the myth of the Roman Empire "inventing" Palestine and all the many crimes the Romans did in fact commit against the people in that region, primarily the ancient Jews and Judaism itself. The love being sent to Palestine here is not excluding Judaism but embracing all of the people who have called that land home. Everyone deserves to live freely on their ancestral land and no country should exist where one group has more rights and freedoms than another.
