Episode 1

A Perspective: The History Of Israel and Palestine

Beerocracy! is back and better than ever! And we are starting off Season 3 with a very important episode.

Listen in, as my guest, Tamir Sorek, a Professor of Modern Middle East History at Penn State University, delves into the profound history of Israel and Palestine. Tamir helps us navigate through the labyrinth of historical events and ideological clashes that have perpetuated the struggle for peace and justice in the region, explaining how the current conflict came to be. As Tamir so wonderfully points out, this is one perspective of the history. Join us as we explore the sobering realities behind the headlines, offering an explanation into the complexities and tragedies that continue to shape the lives of millions.

Generally, a Beerocracy! episode has some jokes and a sharing on what we're drinking at the beginning. With such heavy topics, it doesn't feel right to make light of such a tragic situation, so there is no joking and no beer talk during this episode.

Hi! And welcome to my podcast! My name is Emily Gross and I started Beerocracy! to unite my passions of politics and comedy. I love the news and politics, but I got so tired with the stuffy dialogue that plagues the news cycle. So I decided to try something different and create something that I would want to listen to! I interview a leading expert on a current issue in the news cycle, we drink a beer, and hopefully educate you with a little bit of humor!
