Surviving a Car Bomb at Age 7: My Childhood in Jerusalem - Barak Swarttz | DSH #1610

I feel very much like a poster child to be able to do this work because-

Digital Social Hour

I'm not that Israeli who's spent 24 years of his life in Israel, confined in Israel, not really leaving.

And that is a little bit of a confined tunnel vision when then you want to talk about the story in the PR.

I also have the native English, which a lot of them don't.

And that goes a long way.

Wouldn't you agree?

The language barrier thing goes a long way.

Digital Social Hour
Surviving a Car Bomb at Age 7: My Childhood in Jerusalem - Barak Swarttz | DSH #1610

It's comforting.

Digital Social Hour
Surviving a Car Bomb at Age 7: My Childhood in Jerusalem - Barak Swarttz | DSH #1610

Yeah.

Digital Social Hour
Surviving a Car Bomb at Age 7: My Childhood in Jerusalem - Barak Swarttz | DSH #1610

Like if you, an accent is the first, you know what I mean?

Digital Social Hour

First of all, language is the first, one of the first barriers to culture.

I also think that if more Israelis were taught Arabic and spoke Arabic, I think we'd have a different Middle East.

Digital Social Hour

And that's just because we don't even communicate.

Digital Social Hour
Surviving a Car Bomb at Age 7: My Childhood in Jerusalem - Barak Swarttz | DSH #1610

We have a translator in the middle half the time.

Digital Social Hour
Surviving a Car Bomb at Age 7: My Childhood in Jerusalem - Barak Swarttz | DSH #1610

Right.

Digital Social Hour
Surviving a Car Bomb at Age 7: My Childhood in Jerusalem - Barak Swarttz | DSH #1610

That's a really easy way to get things miscommunicated.

Digital Social Hour
Surviving a Car Bomb at Age 7: My Childhood in Jerusalem - Barak Swarttz | DSH #1610

Oh yeah.

Digital Social Hour
Surviving a Car Bomb at Age 7: My Childhood in Jerusalem - Barak Swarttz | DSH #1610

Yeah.

Digital Social Hour
Surviving a Car Bomb at Age 7: My Childhood in Jerusalem - Barak Swarttz | DSH #1610

easily you know what I mean yeah so I'm personally along with the other like nine balls that I'm juggling that's one of the things that I am aspiring to be able to do is add that into my life yeah just imagine being able to speak speak Arabic or speak Spanish when I go to Spain and speak you know what I mean 100% so when you see Netanyahu go on these podcasts like what's your have you watched any of those first of all

It depends which one you're talking about.
