Debate: Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism

Mehdi Hasan and Ilan Pappé debate whether Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism with Times columnist Melanie Phillips and Israeli former Member of the Knesset Einat Wilf in this Intelligence Squared debate from June 2019. _________________________ Is there a country in the world that attracts so much criticism as Israel?
