Racism in Israel:

Thank you Freedom for giving me the opportunity to discuss this story from 2015. Let me begin by saying that I do not have much time for the current right wing conservative and frankly racist government In Israel under Netyanyahu or the censorship of art. literature, free expression etc, anywhere in the world. To that end myself and one of my brothers have both collaborated and worked for the last 5 years for a campaigning organisation working for international freedom of expression. The books author, Dorit Rabinyan is an Iranian Jew and reflects just how diverse Jews inside and outside of Israel are. The Jewish side of my family originally come from Iraq and so this side of the family have many Muslim friends, one of my own fathers closet friends being a Palestinian he worked with when living in Israel and Palestine. Like him I abhor Racism in all it's forms but particularly when it is practiced by Jews who really should know better having been on the wrong end of bigotry for thousands of years.

Interestingly Rabinyan compares the oppression she has met with to the alienation felt by many under the extremist conservative rule of Trump, who did no vote for him. Empathy she says is the cure
