Protest against removal of last vestiges of procedural democracy in israel have actually become a way of image washing the very government that's doing that. Most american jews don't consider israel to be their primary political issue so they're not engaged with it and there's a little bit of like a enthusiasm gap in American jewish science politics where if you really care a lot about israel you're probably right wing on is Israel.

Featuring Edo Konrad and Joshua Leifer on how Zionism's long-running contradictions led to the current political crisis in Israel.
