Tamir Dortel Reflects on Shift from Secular Left to Religious Zionism in New Podcast

Tamir Dortel, host of the leading philosophical podcast 'Al HaMashmaut,' shared in an exclusive interview with Natan Kon on the 'Serugim' studio about his personal and ideological transformation. Raised in a secular left-wing environment that emphasized compromise and coexistence, Dortel originally viewed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a Western lens. However, over time, he radically changed his perspective, developing admiration and support for the Religious Zionist community.

In the debut episode of the new podcast 'Mitachat LaKipot' ('Under the Kippot'), Dortel candidly discusses his journey from one end of the political and ideological spectrum directly into the embrace of Religious Zionism. He also explains why he feels most drawn to this sector and recounts his experiences engaging with Palestinians on an equal footing.

This conversation offers a rare and unfiltered look at the evolving dynamics within Israeli society and the personal shifts that can challenge long-held beliefs about identity, politics, and coexistence.
