I'm Aiton Weinstein.

And I'm Naor Menninger, and you're listening to Two Nice Jewish Boys.

Settlers.

They are mentioned endlessly in international media, often described as religious fanatics.

They're also very present in the Israeli media, which tends to blame them for much of the

political distress Israel faces. On the Israeli street, no one is indifferent to this issue. The

settler is either notorious for their illegal theft of Palestinian land or celebrated for being

the frontline pioneers of the Zionist endeavor.

The left and advocates of the two-state solutions scorn them for basically looting the

state coffers due to the disproportionate sums of money they received from the government,

while the right praises them for their vineyards, their factories, and even their employment of Palestinians. One camp shines the spotlight

on the violent factions that throw molative cocktails and break through checkpoints to reach

Joseph's burial site in Nablus or Schem, as the other camp cheers for their bravery. The settler is perhaps

the most controversial figure on the face of the planet today.

Ishae Flaichar is the spokesperson for the Jewish community of Hebron.

He's a radio show host and a writer.

Flaishar is also the founder and director of Kuma, an organization meant to help educate for the cause of Zionism.

And Ishae Flaishar has been living in the West Bank, or as he would call it, Judea and Samaria,

for the last 15 years.

We're thrilled to be joined by Ishael Weishel to talk about the settlements.

Before we get to the episode, guys, let me tell you about our friends over at the University of Hamburg.

The University of Hamburg is holding the first international robotics camp for girls.
