Josh lifer and Edo Conrad: Israel is an ethnocracy that practices a complex variegated form of apartheid both within the state of Israel and then also in the occupied territories. The blurriness of how to define reality in Israel is intentional, they say. And one of the things that's often forgotten about Israel is that until 1966, Palestinian citizens of Israel themselves lived under military rule.
Featuring Edo Konrad and Joshua Leifer on how Zionism's long-running contradictions led to the current political crisis in Israel.
