After a horrific attack on an Israeli family by a Lebanese teenager working with the Palestine Liberation Front (a faction of the PLO) in 1979, Israel looked for an ally to help create a secure buffer zone between Israel and Lebanon. However, working with the President-elect of Lebanon, Bashir Gemayel, proved to have deadly consequences. His paramilitary group, the Phalangists massacred between 800 and 2,000 people in two Palestinian refugee camps called Sabra and Shatila. With the world in an uproar over the horrific news of this event, all fingers pointed blame towards Israel. Although the IDF entered Lebanon to stop the PLO’s terror, Israel accepted responsibility for the part they played in the dark story of Sabra and Shatila.

We’re kicking off our brand new series, Israel Phenomenology, and in the first episode, host Chloé Valdary ponders ethnic groups in Israel, and in particular the Mizrachim - Jews who immigrated to Israel from North African and Middle Eastern countries. Long story short, the absorption of these immigrants wasn’t exactly smooth and, for the longest time, anything “Mizrachi” was looked down upon - including their music, which was actually suppressed. Given the popularity of Mizrachi music today, it’s hard to believe there was a time when it was actively stifled. So, how did we get from suppression to chart topping hits, and just what does the cassette tape have to do with this whole situation? What did you think of this week’s episode?
