Gen Z on the Gaza War: An IDF Soldier and a Jewish Harvard Grad Discuss the Battles
What does the future of Israel look like through the eyes of Gen Z? PragerU CEO Marissa Streit sits down with Michael Tal, an IDF demolition specialist who breached Hamas tunnels, and Shabbos Kestenbaum, the Harvard student who sued his university over institutionalized antisemitism. Michael gives a first-hand account of life inside the Hamas tunnels, while Shabbos reveals how Harvard tolerated—and even encouraged—attacks on its Jewish students. Together, they discuss the social-media silence after the peace deal, whether either side truly “won,” and why young people must reclaim a direct, non-politicized relationship with God.
