Is Israel Still Attractive for Jews Around the World?

It's a year since Israel started its military offensive on Gaza. Now it is turning on Lebanon, saying it is attacking Hezbollah. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists he will achieve his goals of destroying the groups that threaten the security of Israelis. But as that security seems a long way off at best, hundreds of thousands of them have chosen to leave and search for safety somewhere else. 

Official Israeli figures show the trend of reverse immigration has grown on a scale not seen in decades. The government is aware of the growing crisis and has introduced incentives to attract new immigrants. But will that work? And what could be the long-term consequences of this exodus from Israel? 

Presenter: Sami Zeidan Guests: Avshalom Elitzur, Israeli quantum mechanics physicist and philosopher. Eva Borgwardt, National Spokesperson for IfNotNow. Daniel Levy, President of the US Middle East Project and a former Israeli government adviser.
