Our guest is Israeli-born historian Ilan Pappé, author of the new book, Israel on the Brink, which suggests that in the coming decades, Israel may cease to exist as a Jewish state. We discuss that as well as what he thinks the ceasefire in Gaza will bring.
Topics include:
The strength of the Palestinian national struggle today as compared with the past
How someone who grew up as a conventional Israeli developed such radical views
Could European Jews have come to Palestine as immigrants, not settlers?
Loving a country while loathing a state
Are Jewish Israelis persuadable?
If Jewish supremacy ended, would Israeli Jews stay?
