An unflinching look at the last decade under Netanyahu serves as a primer on his playbook, one which reactionaries on both sides of the Atlantic seem keen on copy-pasting. Can people of conscience help roll back this rise of right-wing extremists? David Sheen, born in Canada, is an journalist and filmmaker known for his clarifying reportings and analysis on the ground from the daily events in Israel and Palestine.
