Episode 8: Prof. Alexander Yakobson on what it means to "decolonize Palestine"

Is Zionism colonialism? Are Jews an authentic people, or merely a religion? What about Palestinians? What are Zionism’s moral costs, and what are those of opposing Zionism?


I asked one of my teachers, Hebrew University historian Prof. Alexander Yakobson, some of the great questions now being advanced in Western academic and progressive discourses about Israel.


Alex has that special fearlessness of an intellectual who takes the other side's position seriously. It makes his answers all the more valuable.
