Ep.203: Crossroads for Israeli Democracy with Will Cubbison

Dunn Street founder and Community Organiser Stephen Donnelly was joined by former researcher with the US based Analyst Institute and Israeli based progressive campaign consultant Will Cubbison.In Israel this week the right wing coalition government led by Benjamin Netenyahu voted to cut the powers of the independent judiciary, ignoring months of weekly protests by 100,000s of progressive citizens. Will Cubbison joins us from Israel to discuss the drama from inside Knesset and on the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and the implications this policy will have on the only liberal democracy in the region, as well as what it means for Palestianians, Arab Israelis, the broad left and the Israeli economy.The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.
