Israel's Culture War

from Understanding Israel Palestine

Send us Fan MailPolitical scientist Norman Finkelstein discusses the massive protests taking place in Israel, describing them not as a battle for democracy but as a culture war not unlike the tensions seen in U.S. society. He discusses the role and record of Israel's high court, U.S. Jews' shifting relationship with Israel,  the role of the pro-Israel lobby.  A prolific scholar who has spent his life examining the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Finkelstein says the word "democracy" does not accurately describe Israel today.
