Does Israel Have a Future?

Professor David first dives into how the state of Israel “died.” He then comments on the internal threats to Israel’s identity as a democracy and Jewish state. He discusses the external threats, like the bias of the United Nations, that paint Israel as a pariah state and the physical threats, like Iran’s nuclear capability. Finally, he explores what Israel can do to address these threats to its future.
