This world can be a difficult place to live in, and some people have felt it more acutely than others.
We know of the history of African Americans in the U.S. during slavery and the Civil Rights era. We sometimes hear about massacres of people over culture, religion, and ethnicity in places like Sudan or Turkey.
The current situation in Israel and Palestine also illustrates this perfectly. And while this ongoing conflict stretches back to the creation of Israel for both sides, the struggle for safety and survival goes back millennia for the Jewish people. And it involves a history that many (including those with strong opinions on the Middle East matter) aren’t aware of.
But Dr. Israel Zighelboim is certainly aware, and he’s trying to help others gain that same awareness. He’s a proud first-generation Venezuelan, a current U.S. Citizen, and a Jewish man. I’ve known him for 20 years, and he’s the perfect guest for this series of intersectionality interviews I’ve become inspired to do.
In this episode of the Words of Love podcast, you’ll learn why what you see on the surface level (whether about a person or situation) isn’t always as clear-cut as it seems. You’ll hear some of the history contributing to the current tensions in the Middle East and about the migration of Israel’s family to Venezuela after World War II.
Correction: Dr. Zighelboim is Network Chair of Oncology and Cancer Center Director
