On Thursday, the 19th of June, 2008, we spoke with Professor Yossi Schwartz in the offices of the Alternative Information Center (AIC) in West Jerusalem. Yossi, a professor of history at Tel Aviv University, is founder and current chairperson of the Israeli human rights organization, Hamoked: Center for the Defense of the Individual. He is also co-chairperson on the board of directors of the AIC.

We discussed the wider implications of the European Union’s decision to upgrade its political and economic relationship with Israel.
