ISRAEL IN CRISIS: ‘Zionism has failed to provide a safe haven for Jews’ (Prof. Uri Bar-Joseph)

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Uri Bar-Joseph, Professor Emeritus of International Relations at the University of Haifa and author of ‘Beyond the Iron Wall: The Fatal Flaw in Israel’s National Security’. He discusses how October 7 and the Gaza genocide are a result of the failure of the Israeli government to reach a political solution with the Palestinians, the assassination of Lebanese resistance leader Hassan Nasrallah and his legacy, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s comment that he wants to see Israel expand and invade Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, and the overall popularity of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He also discusses how much support a two-state solution has among Israeli society, Israel’s deadly attacks on Lebanon, and the war with the Lebanese resistance. Plus, how October 7 shattered Israel’s sense of security and the Israeli media’s omission of any real information about the tragedy in Gaza, one of the biggest problems being Israeli media and society not discussing a diplomatic path with the Palestinians and Arab states – leading to military force being constantly used in attempts to achieve security. The episode also looks at Israeli generals who support a deal with Hamas to secure the release of hostages, the failure of Zionism to create a safe haven for Jews in Israel, mass emigration from Israel and its causes, and more.
