Israel’s “Enlightened” occupation was the brainchild of Moshe Dayan. But Likud's 'revolutionary' 1977 election victory changed that.
In this interview, we discuss the following:
►Why was Israel's 1967 victory "cursed'?
►What id Mosheh Dayan mean by an "invisibl occupation"?
►How did the Likud Party's 1977 election victory change the Occupation? ►Did Israel draw lessons from past occupations in history? Or did it start the occupation process from a blank slate? ►Why did Israel unilaterally withdraw from Gaza in 2005? ►And how did Israel handle Hamas in its process of leaving Gaza? ►What is Dr. Bregman's prescription for Israel's future relations with Palestinians? 🚩About my guest:
