Accent of Women - Can Jews in Israel be progressive?

Israel has once again escalated its attacks against the Palestinians, provoked by the right-wing Zionist settler movement that wants the government to take control of Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque compound and allow Jewish prayers on the entire site.  It is hard to believe that a future is possible in Palestine.  In fact, many are predicting a third intifada.  And yet, as Jerusalem burns, it seems there is the zygote of a progressive Jewish movement emerging in Isreal.  While a Jewish perspective on the occupation of Israel on Palestine is not a common view broadcast on Accent of Women, this week, we've decided to give this issue some air time.  I spoke with Jewish activist Sahar Vardi.  She's based in Israel and is an organiser in a campaign to end Israeli occupation of Palestine.
