Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and scholar-extraordinaire Sara Hirschhorn discuss two topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.
(Un)settling
Why do Israeli Jews who think it might be a good idea to set up Jewish towns in Gaza, think what they think?
Hostage (Dis)agreement
Would an agreement that brings home some of the hostages might, in the end, be worse than no agreement at all?
Safe, Save for the Bombs and Bullets
For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Why do most Israelis think the safest place in the world for Jews is Israel when, statistically, that’s not even close to being true?
Plus, a remembrance of Corinne Allal, may her memory be for a blessing.
