99: Dr. Einat Wilf: "Antizionism is an assault on Jewish life in the places where Jews exist"

“Being a Zionist is the path to peace”. There is hope in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Dr. Einat Wilf is a deep thinker on Israel’s ever-present challenge: the pursuit of existence in peace and security. It was an honour to host the Q and A session for StandWithUs UK as Einat addressed London's South Hampstead Synagogue. She was born in Jerusalem, raised in a Labour Zionist family and completed her Israeli military service as an Intelligence Officer with the rank of Lieutenant. Einat then went to Harvard University, got a BA in government and fine arts before earning an MBA from INSEAD in France and a PhD in political science at Wolfson College, Cambridge. Einat describes herself as a Zionist, a feminist and an atheist. She says the Abraham Accords has created a competing narrative in the Arab world. We’re hearing it in the Gulf from a new generation of Arabs who recognise the path to growth is both economic and spiritual. I expressly heard it myself on my first ever trip to the UAE in November 2022. Listen to this clearsighted analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the path which she believes will eventually lead to regional peace. Learn more about your ad choices.
