Downstream: Could Israel Become A Failed State? w/ Ilan Pappé
War is spreading throughout West Asia, a situation understood by many observers as an outgrowth of Israeli expansionism. In a return visit to Downstream, historian Ilan Pappé provides a century’s worth of context to the unfolding crisis. He talks to Aaron to talk about the lack of a viable left in Israel, why nation-states haven't worked in the Middle East, and why the British Empire is ultimately to blame. Pappé's new book, A Very Short History of Israel-Palestine Conflict, is available now. Help us build people-powered media: https://novara.media/support
