The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has always been complex — but in today’s hyperconnected world, it has become globalized. Whether you’re deeply informed or just starting to explore the issue, you’ve likely seen the outrage unfold online and in the news.
In this episode of Outrage Overload, we sit down with Adam Boaz Becker, a longtime dialogue facilitator and co-founder of HeadOn.ai, to explore why it’s so hard to have civil conversations about Israel and Gaza, and how social media and traditional media fuel division. Adam has spent years conducting real-world street interviews across Israel and the West Bank — and he’s now turning to AI to help create spaces for meaningful, cross-cutting conversations.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or silenced by outrage, this episode is for you.
Listen now — and discover what it takes to talk across the divide.
