Allison, Don, and Noah discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Coalition ambition, suspicion, sedition, contrition & admonition We discuss the expansion of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s coalition that leaves Herzog and Labor out, and Avigdor Lieberman and his right-wing Yisrael Beiteinu Party in. Birthright, Divest & Sanction? A small number of "Birthright" alums are returning home to fight Israeli policy, and some are even joining BDS. How do you solve a problem like Birthright? Should we even try? Be like Bar? As new Israeli hair-straightening invention the "Dafni brush" flies off the shelves, we discuss the politics of Israeli images of beauty that find lithe, blond, and northern-European to be the ne plus ultra of hotness. All songs by Omer Leshem, in honor of his great new album: Highway Of Life I Can’t Say You Were Mine You’re O.K. |
