Jews Do Count 2: Our views on Israel

In the first episode of Series 2 of the ‘Jews Do Count’ podcast, Jonathan and Raymond meet Israeli-British journalist and author Anshel Pfeffer to discuss what the new data tell us about what British Jews think of Israel politically

Dr Jonathan Boyd

What do British Jews think about how the Israeli government, its leaders and its army have prosecuted the war? What do British Jews feel about Israel’s future, the two-state solution or the threat Iran poses to Israel’s existence? How do Jews differ on these topics? And how have all of these opinions changed in the past year?

In the first episode of Series 2 of the ‘Jews Do Count’ podcast, Jonathan and Raymond discuss what the new data tell us about what British Jews think of Israel politically, and they talk to Israeli-British journalist and author Anshel Pfeffer, who’s covered Israel, the Diaspora and the wider Middle East for over three decades for publications such as Ha’aretz, The Times, The Spectator and now The Economist, and has written several books, including the definitive biography: Bibi: The Turbulent Life and Times of Benjamin Netanyahu.
