For a more 'normal' Israel

An analysis of the future of Israeli politics with Arthur Goodman, the parliamentary and diplomatic liaison for Jews for Justice for Palestinians, Europe’s largest Jewish voice against Zionism.

Published:

The interview covers Arthur's history with the organisation, explains the process of the recent Knesset elections, and expresses his knowledge and understanding of the situation in Palestine, as well as the international community’s shift in support from Benjamin Netanyahu as he engages in further dangerous hardline rhetoric and crimes against humanity.

Haneul Na'avi: Tell us a little about yourself.

Arthur Goodman: I’ve been handling lobbying for JFJFP ever since it was formed, about 13 years ago. I grew up in a middle-class Jewish family and used to be 100 percent supportive of Israel. I had always assumed that Israel was right and Arabs wrong, without much thought behind it—until my mid-50s.
