Israeli military’s crushed morale mirrored in country’s economy, with Shir Hever

Even as it pursues its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, Israel appears to be falling apart from within. Members of the ultra-right-wing coalition are sniping at eachother and at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while Israel’s top generals have once again leaked to The New York Times that the government has no strategy for a war the military is now convinced an exhausted and depleted Israeli army cannot win. We speak about all of this and more with Shir Hever. He joined us about a month ago for an episode of the standalone podcast to talk about Israel’s internal collapse. We talk to him more about significant developments in terms of further disintegration of the Israeli economy, governing structures and society. Shir is the military embargo coordinator for the Palestinian Boycott Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC) and works on its #ShutDownNation campaign. He is the author of The Privatization of Israeli Security and The Political Economy of Israel’s Occupation.
