Could Israel Become A 'Jewish Afghanistan'!? One Academic Thinks So
Channel: Daniel Rosehill
Date: 2023-04-03

Professor Dan Ben-David, an expert in socioeconomics and President of the Shoresh Institution, has used a piece in The Times of Israel to argue that unless Israel course-corrects with its judicial reform proposals, that the country could become analogous to a "Jewish Afghanistan".

Ben-David:

“Without a complete overhaul of Israel’s education system (along the lines outlined in the previous article in this series), the country’s future will be a Jewish version of Afghanistan, an inhospitable place that our children and grandchildren will not want to live in, a racist country that is a pariah in the international community.”

Prof. Ben-David's blog in full:

"For a glimpse of Israel’s future, look not at Poland or Hungary, but at Afghanistan"
