❓What happens when the daughter of an Israeli soldier involved in one of Palestine’s most harrowing massacres decides to speak out?
👩⚕️ Yael is a psychologist living in self-imposed exile in London. Her journey is unlike any other: from growing up inside the heart of Israeli society, to experiencing a profound break with Zionist ideology — a shift that forced her to confront both national myths and family history.
🏚 The Tantura massacre of 1948 remains a wound in Palestinian memory and a flashpoint of denial in Israel. In this conversation, Yael reveals:
🪖 Her father’s role in the events at Tantura
💔 How her own beliefs unraveled
🚪 The personal cost of breaking silence inside Israeli society
📜 Why confronting the past is essential for any honest future
📚 Along the way, we connect her testimony to:
✒️ Historian Prof. Ilan Pappé’s work on Tantura
🗣 The voices of Palestinian survivors Faizeh Al-Yahya and Dr. Adnan
⚠ This is not an easy conversation — but it cuts through decades of denial to reach uncomfortable truths.
