The Palestinian Forum for Israeli StudiesReports by international, Israeli, and Palestinian human rights organizations accuse the State of Israel of committing the crime of apartheid. However, these reports often overlook the role of Israeli and international pro-Israel civil society organizations in promoting and creating consensus around Israel's apartheid project. In this episode, Neve Gordon, professor of international law and human rights at Queen Mary University of London, sheds light on the role of these racist civil society organizations. Gordon explores how these groups contribute to the perpetuation of apartheid policies and the consolidation of support for such practices.
This episode marks the launching of MADAR’s Arabic version of “What is Modern Israel” by Yakov M. Rabkin. In this episode, moderated by Sam Bahour, prof. Rabkin presents solid critical arguments that judge Zionism and Israel using Jewish religious tools and references that shed light on the merits of the historical Jewish opposition to Zionism by quoting uncommon rabbinic sources. Prof. Rabkin’s arguments become more interesting as he engages into a theological-philosophical discussion around the book with Azar Dakwar, PhD candidate in Political and Social Thought.
