This week's episode is a pretty heavy one, topic-wise. We review Salt Houses by Hala Alyan, a multigenerational story about a Palestinian family who face displacement after displacement in the wake of wars in the Middle East. The kids book feature "These Olive Trees" by Aya Ganameh is also a Palestinian story. Other topics mentioned in this episode include a brief historical context of Israel-Palestine relations, the "Not In My Backyard" mentality, Sunk-cost fallacy, the danger of getting caught up in a niche aspect of an issue, how we're not meant to know all the terrible news.
