Philip Weiss was back on Antiwar Radio this week to talk about the political situation in Israel. Or, more specifically, the reaction to the Israeli political upheaval. The last six months have seen protests as the current regime attempts to pass laws that affect the balance of power within the Israeli government. These developments have disturbed a lot of liberal Israelis and American Jews. Scott and Weiss discuss some particularly noteworthy reactions.

Discussed on the show:

• “‘Apartheid,’ says Tom Friedman” (Mondoweiss)
• “Biden, Jayapal, and liberal Zionists rush to prop up the Israel lobby for 2024” (Mondoweiss)
• “Awareness grows that Israel’s crisis stems from a core issue: it’s an apartheid state” (Mondoweiss)
• “New Israeli law is shock to U.S. Zionists, who fear break with American Jews” (Mondoweiss)
