Lessons From Peter Beinart's French Grandma

(((CLICK BELOW TO HEAR AUDIO)))

The average Paris Jew is afraid to have a Mezuzah on a public door, sparking discussions about Israel absorbing France's half-a-million Jews. And where might Israel find houses for all of French Jewry amidst a national housing crisis? Housing Minister Uri Ariel believes they are going to move to the West Bank!

Then in a VOI exclusive, 'The Crisis of Zionism' author Peter Beinart joins Yishai to discuss how to be a critic of Israeli policy, while still remaining a proud Jew. Beinart debates Yishai on the Palestinian narrative of victimhood, and argues that Israeli policies in the West Bank represent 'a recipe for disaster.' He analyzes the growing popularity of Jewish Home Chairman Naftali Bennett, and his assertion that the 'one-state solution is being embraced by more and more Palestinians.' He tells Yishai about his French grandmother's distrust of Arabs, and what happened when a critic told him his 'politics are $%!^.'
