What compels Israelis to die for Zionism? with Asa Winstanley

On 7 October, the Israeli military implemented a controversial order called the Hannibal Directive, which allows its forces to kill Israelis in order to prevent them being taken captive. Asa Winstanley examines why there is such widespread acceptance of this abhorrent practice and why so many Israelis seem willing to sacrifice their loves ones on the altar of Zionism – and sometimes even themselves too. Nora Barrows-Friedman, Asa Winstanley, Ali Abunimah and Jon Elmer of The Electronic Intifada were joined by Dr. Tarek Loubani an emergency room physician based in Ontario, on the day 236 livestream.
