PEACE TALK
Episode 11
Jonathan Sacerdoti and Moataz Khalil interview MORDECHAI KEDAR, the Israeli expert in Arabic culture who famously schooled Al Jazeera on the Quran.
Prof Kedar learnt Arabic as a schoolboy and has worked in intelligence and academia since, using his expert knowledge of the Quran, Arabic texts and the Arabic language to better understand the complexities and realities of the Middle East.
In a searingly frank interview he discusses the differences between Western and Arab news stations, the idea of creating a Palestinian Emirates instead of a single Palestinian state and the true war doctrine of Hamas.
