Miko Peled—whose father was an Israeli general and whose grandfather signed Israel’s Declaration of Independence—explains why he abandoned Zionism and now supports replacing Israel with one democratic state from the river to the sea.
Rafi challenges Peled on:
Whether Jews are indigenous to the Land of Israel
Whether Judaism is only a religion or also a national identity
Hamas, October 7 and Palestinian responsibility
Claims that Gaza is undergoing genocide
Islamic and religious motivations behind the conflict
Jewish life under Muslim rule
Zionism, colonialism and the Palestinian national identity
The future of Israel and a proposed one-state solution
The conversation becomes especially heated when Peled argues that the Israeli government—not merely the suicide bombers—was responsible for the attack that killed his niece.
Watch the entire debate and decide for yourself who made the stronger arguments.
