Israel claims to be the only democracy in the Middle East. The reality is different. Israeli democracy is based on Zionist indoctrination; racist citizenship laws; and a supremacist "Jewish" state in which Palestinians are treated as second class.

This episode features talks given at a Naarm/Melbourne forum hosted by Green Left on January 30 by Nachshon Amir, anti-zionist Jewish activist and former Israeli Defense Forces soldier, Palestinian activist Mai Saif and Meredith Lawrence, member of Socialist Alliance and the Loud Jew Collective.
