Episode 38 - Exploring the Zionist Movement: Ze'ev Jabotinsky and 'Iron Wall' with Dr. Arnon Degani

In the 38th episode of Middle East Insights, we are joined by Dr. Arnon Degani, a Fellow at Molad – Center for the Renewal of Israeli Democracy, to explore the historical genesis of the Zionist movement, with a special focus on Ze'ev Jabotinsky, a prominent Zionist leader and the founder of Revisionist Zionism. Jabotinsky's 1923 essay "The Iron Wall (We and the Arabs)" laid out his vision for Zionism and the relationship with Palestinian Arabs.

Dr. Degani also shares insights from his extensive research on Palestinian integration into Israeli society between 1948 and 1967, daily encounters with Israeli officials, and his upcoming manuscript titled "Our Arabs." His work contributes to the debate around the settler-colonial framework in the context of Israel and Palestine. We also discuss his Hebrew podcast series "Hesket Oslo," which examines the Oslo Accords, and its upcoming English adaptation, "Still Processing."

Join us for a deep dive into the complex history of Zionism and its lasting impact on Israeli-Palestinian relations.
