"Israel’s End Game" is a podcast series probing whether Israel can indefinitely sustain policies of expansion, dispossession, military occupation, and apartheid, and how shifting geopolitical balances might enable or constrain those policies. We ask our guests whether or how internal divisions within Israel or Israel’s growing international isolation--particularly in the public sphere and despite furious campaigns to suppress scrutiny and criticism—could alter Israel’s strategic choices. This includes indices such as the impact of campaigns targeting lawmakers tied to pro-Israel funding. The series also examines whether recent developments—including the Gaza Genocide, the rupture of the US’s traditional alliances, domestic polarization, and economic woes—have meaningfully changed the global balance of power or merely reinforced established patterns by normalizing a more profound breakdown of an already inconsistent “rules-based order.” Finally, the series addresses whether Israeli leaders misread or deliberately discount emerging political, economic, and social shifts, domestically or internationally, that could alter Israel’s current trajectory.
