If Netanyahu wasn't the leader of Le Kood, you probably would be able to have a 70-seat coalition. The instability that's been created as a result of the polarization around Netanyahu has enabled there to be at least a conversation about political flexibility.

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