Yonatan Zeigen's mum Vivian Silver was one of the most prominent victims of the 2023 October 7 Hamas-led attacks on Israel.
The human rights activist spent her last moments speaking with her son Yonatan before being killed in a massacre.
But instead of responding to the death with anger, Yonatan decided to take on his mum's mission of pushing for peace.
In this week's long listen, Yonatan tells Dave why his mother's death was a wakeup call, what he believes is the way forward for Palestinians and Israelis, and his biggest fear ahead of Israel's upcoming elections.
Guests:
Yonatan Zeigen, activist

On this week’s Deep Dive, host Dave Marchese sits down with Michelle Pearse, CEO of the Australian Christian Lobby, and James, an LGBTQIA+ advocate, to hear both sides of the argument.
