Welcome to If You Were In Charge, a podcast with renowned global peace strategist Sanam Naraghi Anderlini. In each episode, we invite global thought leaders to share the radical solutions they would implement if given unlimited political and financial power. In this seventh episode, Sanam speaks with Mohammad Darawshe a leading political analyst and expert on Jewish-Arab relations inside Israel. After the conversation Sanam is joined as usual by her daughter Soleh to reflect on the conversation.
Mohammad Darawshe explains the complex realities of Arab and Jewish coexistence in Israel, focusing on the challenges faced by Palestinian citizens and the pivotal role of education in shaping a shared future. The conversation examines the structural barriers within Israel’s segregated educational system, the hurdles to higher education for Palestinians, and innovative programs aimed at fostering integrated learning environments. Mohammad Darawshe sheds light on the strain recent conflicts have placed on intercommunal relationships, highlighting the systemic discrimination endured by Palestinian citizens. He advocates for empowering these communities and fostering collaboration between Jewish and Palestinian citizens to create a more equitable society. Sanam and Mohammad also explore the political and humanitarian dimensions of Palestinian support, the chilling effect of surveillance and intimidation on Arab citizens, and the need for a national dialogue and how to bring about a resolution to the Arab Israeli conflict.
