Is Zionism compatible with democracy? | Head to Head
The ideology of Zionism, which calls for the establishment of a Jewish state, has dictated Israeli politics for decades.
But is it compatible with a democratic Israel? And can a state exclusively for Jews be a genuine democracy?
Palestinians argue that Zionism has become a byword for racism and colonial expansion.
In this episode, Mehdi Hasan challenges Shlomo Ben Ami , the former Israeli foreign minister and avowed liberal Zionist, on the challenges of Zionism and the failures of the Israeli peace camp.
Also joining the discussion are: Avi Shlaim, a renowned new historian and emeritus professor of international relations at the University of Oxford; Paul Charney, the chairman of the Zionist Federation; and Diana Buttu, a Palestinian lawyer and legal advisor to the Palestine Liberation Organisation.
