2. Nakba (Part two) with Gideon Levy

In the previous episode of the Kalam Podcast, Suad Amiry walked us through the horrors of the 1948 Nakba. In this episode we try to answer the question of who those early Zionists who carried out the Nakba were, and they were motivated by. And what exactly Israelis celebrate when they commemorate the Nakba as their Independence Day.The Israeli journalist and political dissident Gideon Levy joins Edgar to try to explain these phenomena.
