Israel’s Strategic Culture and Its Failing + Israeli Information Warfare w/ Dr. Andreas Krieg - a podcast by J.G.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Dr. Andreas Krieg, an associate professor in the School of Security Studies at King's College, London and author of Subversion: The Strategic Weaponization of Narratives, joins the show to discuss Israel's strategic culture and its failing. He argues that Israel has responded to the Oct. 7th Hamas attack with strategic ambiguity and is fighting the current war in an outmoded fashion. We also discuss his experience attending a workshop on Hasbara, the nature of Israeli information warfare and synthetic disinformation, the question of whether Hamas can be defeated and the issue of blowback, the IDF's entering the Hamas underground tunnels and the problems that poses for the IDF, how the underground tunnels Hamas is using are likely going to undermine Israeli technological advantage (ie: the issue of low-tech warfare), Israel setting itself up for a long war, the Palestinian insurgency movement and Hamas as an idea, the goal of "eradicating Hamas", the Biden administration, the need for a political solution to the Israel/Palestine and how avoiding it is against Israel's security interests, ceasefire, claims that videos of Palestinian suffering are a fake "Pallywood" production, and much more!
