Adi Schwartz

Einat served as a member of the Israeli Knesset from 2010 to 2013, where she chaired the Education Committee and served on the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

She is the offer- author of several books, but among them we include on this show We Should All Be Zionists and, with Adi Schwartz, The War of Return.

That book is an examination of the Palestinian, uh, refugee, um, question and the role of the demand of the right of return within that context of the Israeli-Arab conflict.

And most recently, Einat founded and now chairs Israel's Oz party, which I'd love to learn more about.

Former Labor MK in Israel Einat Wilf, not of the Israeli right, has spent years saying the West refuses the real issue.

In her book, The War of Return, she and fellow author Adi Schwartz argue that the whole Palestinian national identity is focused on destroying the Jewish state of Israel.

That is the conversation! Macron wants the world discussing whether Hamas operates in Judea and Samaria.

It does.

But more importantly to me, Einat Wilf is one of the leading public intellectuals in Israeli life today.

I've heard you speak a number of times, and I recently read the book War of Return that you co-authored with Adi Schwartz, and it is...

If I was making a reading list for a course... on the Middle East, on the Israeli-Arab conflict, this would be absolute required reading.

You really drill down on the whole Palestinianism issue.
