Democracy in Israel: Under Threat or In Revival?

a conversation with
AVRAHAM BURG
Author, Journalist, Former Speaker of the Knesset, and Former Chairman of the Jewish Agency

Recent anti-democratic efforts by Israel’s right-wing coalition have targeted Israeli human rights advocates and cultural icons as disloyal citizens. What is behind these brazen efforts to brand liberal values as un-Israeli? How successful are they? And what are progressives in Israel and America doing to protect democratic values?

Avraham Burg will be joined in discussion by Stephanie Ives, Director for NY/Tri-State of the New Israel Fund.
