Who's Left in Israel?: Radical Political Alternatives for the Future of Israel

Leon (co-managing editor of the Palestine-Israel Journal) brings together leading Israeli leftists—figures such as Uri Avnery of the peace group Gush Shalom, Ha'aretz journalist Amira Hass, and political scientist Ilan Pappe—to address pressing questions currently facing the country. Naturally, the questions of the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and the "ethnocratic" nature of the Jewish state occupy center stage in the proceedings, but other issues, often closely related are also discussed, including relations between Israel and the Jewish Diaspora, environmental politics, economic social justice, discrimination against the Mizrahim (or Sephardic Jews), the gender structure of the state, and the possibilities of a democratic and pluralistic education in Israel.
