News from Within: Palestine/Israel Podcast - Israel's Investigation of Azmi Bishara in Context
On Monday, 21 May 2007, we
spoke with Dr. Jamal Zahalka, Chairman of Balad, the National Democratic
Assembly Party, at his office in the Israeli Knesset in Jerusalem.
Dr. Zahalka, a Palestinian
citizen of Israel from Kfar
Kara in the Galilee, has been a Member of the
Knesset since 2003, becoming the head of Balad following the resignation of
Azmi Bishara in April of this year.
We talked with Dr. Zahalka
about the work of the Balad Party; the implications of recently published
political documents by leaders of the Israeli Arab community, which call for
the legal transformation of Israel into a State for all its citizens; the
Israeli establishment’s reaction to these demands; and the social and political
context of the current allegations and legal investigation against Azmi
Bishara, the former head of Balad, for espionage and money laundering.
