Description:

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

--Smile!--

Some Israelis think that PM Netanyahu’s plan to have cameras in polling places will destroy democracy, while others think it will save it. Why the Rashamon?

--What, Me Vote?--

Seven in ten Israelis vote. What’s with the other three?

--Politics of Pieties and Pieties of Politics--

Angry ultra-Orthodox feminists say that progressive, secular do-gooders fighting for their rights are messing up their game and setting back their cause. Do they have a point?

--Is Trauma a Key to Understanding Israeli Politics?--

For our most extremely generous Patreon supporters, we discuss journalist Matti Friedman’s socko, controversial pre-election column in the Times, The One Thing No Israeli Wants to Discuss. Is trauma a key to understanding Israeli politics?

All this and the happy hipness of Beatnik!

--Music--
