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.

2 States, 1 Homeland?
There’s another peace initiative proposing two states – Palestine & Israel – with no borders to separate. Palestinians will settle in ancestral homes in, say, Haifa. But, they live in Palestine but vote and pay taxes in Israel. Can such a scheme work in practice?

Israel’s Other Crisis
Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon has unveiled new proposals to solve Israel’s housing crisis. The proposals include a variety of measures, all aimed at jimmying the free real estate markets. We ask if this really is the answer to all our problems.

Uncultured Wars
Minister of Culture and Sport, Miri Regev isn’t a hometown favorite right now. She threatened to pull government funding from just about anything that offends her sensibilities. Furious artist types organize against what they call “anti-democratic censorship.”

All this and a tribute to an Israeli cultural landmark, the hip-hop & rap radio show Jigga Juice, on the occasion of its fifth birthday!
