Ofer Cassif: The Israeli MP standing against his country's 'genocide'

Ofer Cassif, a member of the Israeli Knesset, has repeatedly referred to Israel's war on Gaza as a "genocide."

In this episode of UNAPOLOGETIC, Cassif, a member of the Hadash Party, provides an insight into the political climate inside Israeli society and the Israeli government.

He speaks at length about how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is "terrified" about proceedings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and how Israel has already moved towards a “fascist” reality where the government is using the events of the 7 October attacks to make Israel a fully fledged "autocratic state."

Cassif also discusses the “subjugation” plan, a document put forward by far-right members of the Israeli government, who are now key figures in the ruling coalition, which details what he says is a plan to either ethnically cleanse greater Israel from Palestinians or have them continue living under an ever-increasing brutal occupation that makes life for Palestinians in the occupied territories unliveable.

UNAPOLOGETIC is a show that unapologetically looks at the life, times and views of some unapologetic and not so unapologetic humans. Hosted by Ashfaaq Carim
