This public talk, hosted by the Hastings & District Palestine Solidarity Campaign, features political philosopher Martin Cohen discussing the ideas that shaped the modern state of Israel, including what he describes as a mix of Italian Fascism and Christian fundamentalism at the heart of Zionism. Cohen links the ideas of Israel's Founding Fathers to present-day realities.
