There’s no one better in Australia with whom to discuss Israeli politics than journalist and author Antony Loewenstein.
I asked Antony whether it mattered who won, given the lead candidates seemed to mostly compete on who could be more effective at waging wars and ethnic cleansing.
We also discussed the surge in the vote among Palestinian citizens of Israel, and whether it could make a significant political difference, as well as Israel’s longevity.
But before diving into all things Israel, we offered a quick response to Jillian Segal’s latest rampage, this time targeting human rights and social justice advocates.
