Description
Jonny Gould’s Jewish State stays in Israel heading for the Knesset in Jerusalem and a couple of nights out in Tel Aviv, fresh from an eye opening visit to the Israel Gaza border (scroll back one episode for that atmospheric episode).
Now let’s talk to politicians and an Iranian expert for a snapshot on regional and domestic issues.
The white heat of judicial reform has seemingly pushed the general public’s concerns about the Palestinians into the shadows.
I met Hanoch Milwidski MK on trying to bring Israelis back together.
Then it’s off to Tel Aviv to meet Iranian expert, Dr. Meir Javadanfar, who supports the JCPOA.
What many in Israel and around the world regard as appeasing the Iranian regime, allowing them space and time to create a nuclear weapon!
Why does he support it?
And he took part in the Iranian Revolution, yes really!
But first let’s hear the story of Ruth Wasserman Lande, a former Knesset MK, itching to get back and with seemingly endless ambition.
Ruth served as advisor to Shimon Peres, as Deputy Ambassador at the Israeli embassy in Cairo.
Her parents arrived from Soviet Lithuania with nothing. Raised in a Russian speaking home, the Soviets even took her mum’s wedding ring off her.
Real stories from real people. Lived-in and brought your ears.
