The Seattle area health and technology industries have strong connections with the Middle East-particularly with Israel and Gaza.

The resulting disconnect has escalated in light of recent proposals to evict Palestinians from Gaza and transform it into a high end resort. In this episode of Challenge 2.0, we speak with two Seattle residents familiar the region-Mercy Corps founder Dan O’Neill who once lived on an Israeli kibbutz, and surgical nurse Christie Jucht who has regularly volunteered in hospitals located in Gaza.
