This is a fascinating survey of the political realities of contemporary Israel from the perspective of an Israeli leftist. Although I don’t endorse every view expressed by the author I do consider this piece to be an excellent tool to understand the internal political influences pushing and pulling in Israel right now.

    “Unfortunately, what we hear in mainstream media; this so-called ‘discourse’ or this so-called ‘debate’ between the right and the left is about that. It’s about ‘do we want a large Israel which is arab free or do we want a small Israel which is arab free?’ This is the debate that’s taking place.”
