Yossi Klein Halevi: ‘Anti-Zionism Greater Threat to American Jewry Than to Israel’ | ‘Top Story,’ Ep. 31

The author joins JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin to discuss relations between Arabs and Jews, the current Israeli government, the peace process and anti-Semitism.

The two talk about the potential for conflict between Israel and the Biden administration, the future of interfaith dialogue in both Israel and the United States, relations between the ultra-Orthodox and other Israelis, and how to talk about Israel to young American Jews.

“Top Story” also airs on JBS-TV.
