“The End of Israel? Ilan Pappé on Zionism’s Collapse & a Future Built From Islamic Heritage”

Genocide in Gaza. Zionism in crisis. Historian Ilan Pappé delivers a piercing analysis of Israel’s unravelling political system, the implosion of international law, and the seismic shift in global public opinion. In this bold and insightful conversation, Pappé explains how myths of Israeli invincibility are shattering, why civil war is brewing from within, and how Palestinian resistance—backed by worldwide solidarity—is rewriting the rules of the region.   From the strategic silence of Western elites to the complicity of Arab regimes dubbed “the real Iron Dome,” this conversation dives into the failures of the nation-state model, the resilience of Gaza’s people, and the possibility of a political future inspired by the Islamic and Ottoman past.   🧠 About Ilan Pappé   Ilan Pappé is a renowned Israeli historian, author, and professor known for his fearless critique of Zionism and the Israeli state.
