Join Dr. Ofer Zur for a compelling journey into the psychology of warfare, propaganda, and manipulation in today’s world.

From historical strategies of dehumanization to the impact of advanced technologies like AI, drones, and cyberattacks, Zur examines the evolving faces of enmity and their profound effects on societies and individuals.
Key Topics:
