Israel’s Secret History of Terror & Discrimination Against Arab Jews, with Avi Shlaim

Zionism didn’t just dispossess Palestinians, it also helped destroy centuries-old Jewish communities across the Arab world. Historian Avi Shlaim, born in Baghdad and now a leading voice in exposing Zionist mythology, joins Dispatches to reveal how Israel used false flag terror attacks, including Mossad-led bombings in Iraq, to force Arab Jews to flee.

In this wide-ranging conversation with Rania Khalek, Shlaim connects the founding violence of the Israeli state to its ongoing genocide in Gaza, challenges the myths of Israeli “democracy,” and says that Zionism has not only targeted Palestinians, but also betrayed Arab Jews and Jews around the world.
