Israel at the Crossroads: The Future of Democracy — Bret Stephens, Ronen Bergman, Anshel Pfeffer, and Lucy Aharish in Conversation with Roni Kuban

Presented with SAPIR: Ideas for a Thriving Jewish Future

Apr 23, 2023


Join four prominent journalistic voices — The New York Times’ and SAPIR’s Bret Stephens, bestselling author and award-winning journalist Ronen Bergman, Haaretz’s Anshel Pfeffer, and Israel’s DemocratTV anchor Lucy Aharish in conversation with Israeli talk show host Roni Kuban — for a roundtable discussion on the facts, the myths, and the politics of covering the state of Israel.

How can reporters and columnists accurately and responsibly approach complicated questions about Israel’s past, present and future? Why is it so difficult to reach consensus in Israel or the US on questions like: What is the current state of Israeli politics? Is Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent shift to the right creating a stronger, safer Israel, or laying the groundwork for autocracy? Is Israel teetering on the edge of an abyss, or is democracy and civic engagement stronger than ever before? Hear four journalists with differing views on these questions in an incisive, clear-eyed, deeply informed roundtable conversation about what we talk about when we talk about Israel.
