Yossi Klein Halevi: I was a Jewish extremist


Listen Later

Yossi Klein Halevi is an Israeli-American author who wrote the New York Times best-seller Letters to My Palestinian Neighbour. The son of a holocaust survivor, he grew up hating the world and being distrustful towards all non-Jews, joining the Jewish Defence League in his teens - a radical right-wing organisation which has since been designated a terrorist group by the FBI. He then re-examined his beliefs and has been involved in extensive interfaith outreach and is a senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem which explores Judaism in the modern world.
